    No. HD-DVD must be played on an HD-DVD player.

    It’s not really a different format, but the tracks are recorded more closely together, requiring a finer resolution than a DVD player’s laser can achieve.

    If you have an Xbox 360, you might be able to pick up the HD-DVD player designed for it cheaply (about $50). Otherwise, if you don’t want to spring for an obsolete player, you’re stuck with the DVD side.
