Answer
Unfortunately Blu-Ray players cannot play HD-DVD's as they are made using an entirely different format from Blu-Ray Discs. As I understand it, old DVDs will also play on Blu-Ray players as well. (www.blu-ray.com/faq/)
In regards to brands and prices, there is a review of new Blu-Ray players at CNet that I have provided the link for below.

is this possible?
Answer
Since the Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD formats are incompatible, due to differences in actual physical disc structure, you cannot play a Blu-ray Disc in an HD-DVD format player, nor can you play an HD-DVD in a Blu-ray Disc format player.
However, there have been indications by some manufacturers concerning the intention to make Blu-ray Disc/HD-DVD combo players, which would certainly make it less confusing for the consumer. Unfortunately, no such player has been demonstrated or offered at this point.
Other alternatives that have been proposed to solve this problem include a dual Blu-ray/HD-DVD disc. This would be a disc that would have the Blu-ray version of the film or program on one side and the HD-DVD content on the other side. A similar solution is already being provided on some HD-DVD titles, in which the HD-DVD content is on one side of the disc and standard DVD content is offered on the other side.
However, so far, both Blu-ray and HD-DVD player manufacturers have included the ability for their units to playback standard DVDs. This means your current DVD library is playable on either a Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD player.
NOTE: LG is the first manufacturer to offer a Blu-ray Disc/HD-DVD Combo Player. The BH100 features Blu-ray and HD-DVD playback at 1080p using a single drive, as well as 1080i upscaling of standard DVD content. However, the BH100 does not play standard music CDs. Also, the disc loading time for Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs has been reduced to about 25 seconds, making the BH100 the fastest loader to date. The best news of all is the $1,199 price point, which is less than some Blu-ray Disc-only players.
