iPad does not support HD so Bluray cannot be played directly. There are methods for converting HD data to a resolution and bit rate that iPad will support but a conversion is required for each disc.

What kind of DVD player will play HD DVDs?
To play a high definition DVD, you need a high definition DVD player. There are two types available currently. HD DVD, developed by Toshiba is one and BluRay, developed by Sony is the other. They are not compatible, so an HD DVD will not play on a BluRay player and a BluRay disc will not play on an HD DVD player. BluRay looks like it is the winner in the format war between the two companies over the last years so it is likely that Toshiba's format will disappear in the coming months. Note that HD DVD can refer to the Toshiba format but it can also refer to high definition DVDs in general.
Can the Xbox 360 play Bluray disc?
Currently, no. You should get a PS3 to do that.
