Only blu-ray disc players will play blu-ray discs. These will also play standard 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.
Any television will work with a Bluray player but to get the full quality of the Bluray format, you will need an HD television with an HDMI input. Televisions that do not have an HMDI input can use the analog output from the player but the signal will be SD rather than HD.
BluRay discs carry high definition television and therefore store data in a high density format. A standard definition DVD player will not recognise a BluRay disc and will simply report an error if one is loaded. On the other hand, a BluRay player will not only play BluRay discs but will also handle standard DVDs. Most will also recognise and play CD format discs. Most Bluray players will also down convert the HD signal from a BluRay disc so that it can be viewed on a standard definition television. In this case, of course, the image quality will be the same as any other standard definition signal. To benefit from the high definition signal, an HD television is also required.

The DVD was a development rather than an invention. It was a high density version of the Compact Disc that was the first of the low cost optical storage devices. Similarly, the Bluray disc is a higher density version of the DVD. The CD itself was a development of optical technologies with low power highly controllable lasers and plastics molding allowing CDs to be printed with accurate, tiny indentations. However, as the CD was the first of its kind, it can certainly be called an invention and so was the invention that lead to the DVD and then the Bluray discs.

ALL DVD's created are either burned with NTSC, which is what we use here in the US (All of the DVD players sold here are equipped to play NTSC-format DVD's) or with PAL, which is what they use in Europe. The DVD players in the US cannot play DVDs from Europe and vise versa because they are not formatted to play each kind of disc. There probably are some computer programs (which are pretty expensive) that can play a European DVD on a computer. But there is no way to play a European DVD on a normal DVD player in the US. ----- Next to the PAL/NTSC reason, DVDs (& BluRay's) have a zone number (retail and rental DVDs! A DVD player can (normally) only play the DVDs with the zone number from the region/country you bought it in. This regionalization is artificial and is due to a code put on, by the manufacturer. This is to preserve copyright for different countries. The DVD zone is mentioned on the backside of your cover and on your disc. You can also buy a DVD region 0 player which can play all regions but some DVDs are protected from these players. A list of the regions can be found on many websites eg. Wikipedia. Some DVD players can be converted to play all regions. This is a software patch sometimes invoked by special, secret, sequence of button pushes on the remote control. Generally cheaper, unbranded machines can do this. Google 'region hack' for the make of machine you have.
