What happens when you try and play a blu-ray disc in a regular dvd player?

I bought a blu ray disc, and it came with a regular DVD copy. without even thinking, i just grabbed the first disc, and put it into my DVD player, and that disc happened to be the blu-ray version. now the back of the blu-ray disc has waves of color, and i dont know if i ruined it or not, does anyone know?

Answer
No, you didn't ruin it. DVD players are strictly read-only, meaning that they will not rewrite or damage anything on the disc under any circumstances, unless the DVD player catches on fire or spits the DVD across the room, shattering it against the wall (which will almost NEVER happen, mind you!). The "waves of color" are just part of the reflection from the disc. In short, if you put a Blu-ray DVD into a standard DVD player, absolutely NOTHING will happen.

Do you have to have a special type of dvd player to play a blu ray disc on?

Can I play the new BLU RAY disc on a regular dvd player or do I have to buy something new?

Answer
You have only 2 choices for playing a Blu Ray disk.
1) Play Station 3
2) Stand Alone BluRay player.
A regular DVD player will not play BluRay or HDDVD.
