Both HD-DVD and Blu-ray employ an AACS (Advanced Access Content System) copy protection scheme that, to keep things short and (somewhat) simple, will down-scale HD content to a non-HD resolution if it isn't displayed over an HDCP-compliant HDMI connection. In other words, hooking up either of these formats via component connections won't cut it for true HD playback, at least in the future. Luckily, studios behind both formats have said that they won't ship their first batches of movies (possibly for a few years) with the scheme enabled to give users time to shift over to HDMI-enabled televisions, but this still leaves many questions in the world of gaming, specifically with regards to the PlayStation 3.

Seems that Blu-Ray wont cause all the problems that were first expected.
Good news for the PS3 I guess
