I think consumers are tired of the industry expecting us to buy all our films again every time a new format comes out. At least with the VHS to DVD change, there were several good reasons. (1) The picture was much better. (2) You didn't have to worry aboout the film wearing out through normal use. (3) You could watch the dvd on a computer. (4) No need of RR or FF. (5) DVD's took up much less space than VHS. (6) You could put a whole tv series in one neat box. (7) Some films (like "Superman") could put the whole saga in one neat package.

For a slightly better picture, blu ray is not worth the cost of a new system and a new tv. (To say nothing of having to pay twice as much for the film.)

DVD is good enough for me. I am not going to buy my whole collection of films over.

A comment on Fab's post. There are people who write that it is spelled as Blue-ray. I heard this is correct, but on packaging it got shortened as Blu-ray.

I still think Blu-ray has a chance of survival. Yes downloads do look like they will eat into the Blu-Ray sales but at the end of the day a lot of people like collecting something physical which is not the case when downloading.
Yeah Blu-Rays were expensive but so were DVDs when they first came out. To be honest I have only just started buying them recently since loads of DVDs are are £3-£5. Guess I am just cheap though!!

I got a Blu-Ray for Christmas 2008, which I have to admit - the graphics of it are amazing, the only downfall is the cost of the disc's.

Afterall, the cheapest Blu-Ray I've managed to buy is £16.79 - for HellBoy 2.

If the manufacturers want it to take off, lower the price of the players - like Sky have done with Sky HD and more people will buy them = more DVD sales, more DVD sales = lower prices.

I watch more downloads than anything else now but if I want to see a really good film I'll rent it on blu-ray as the quality difference is huge.
Over here in the UK a new release blu-ray will cost you £20-25, a standard DVD will be around £10-12 and a download is free!
Cut the price and I'll buy them.

Do some research:
- Upsampling dvd players are nice but are crummy looking compared to a blu-ray picture, plus hd sound on blu-ray kills dvd
-if your paying $400 for a player and $40 for new releases you must:
1) live in the sticks away from any mainstream store or
2) be a really retarted shopper
-downloads picture and sound cant measure up plus i for one dont want to have to plan to start downloading the movie hours ahead of when i want to watch it.
- Get your facts right and stop bashing blu because you dont have one yet.

Another technology about to meet its death is the conventional HDD at the hand of Solid State Drives (SSD). The cost of SSDs is predicted to be at parity in 2011. Capacity is nearly there also with the first 1 TB SSD recently being released.
