I don't have a DVD player and haven't for years. I got a Blu-ray DVD for x-mas and the giver was surprised I didn't have one. I have not looked at my friends electronic purchases but I thought this was one of those techs that never got going.
Blu-Ray - Did it die off?

I feel you on that one. I recently woke up from a long coma and wondered what this BluRay thing is.

Connect your blu ray player to a 5.1 amplifier and speakers, a full HD projector, a screen of say 6 feet by 3 feet, put in a modern well made film you like, turn off the lights and hit play.
Then post here and tell us how it compares to a downloaded file watched on your IpadComment

I am not an action shoot em up type of film lover. I am one of the people who couldn't stand Avatar. Just not my thing.Connect your blu ray player to a 5.1 amplifier and speakers, a full HD projector, a screen of say 6 feet by 3 feet, put in a modern well made film you like, turn off the lights and hit play.

I've got this Harman Kardon thing, it's pretty sweet watching Band of Brothers on with a big ass screen. Excellent quality.
Don't own many blue-ray disc though, it'll probably die out since it's a physical device. but they have them on sale here and there so I pickup some classics from time to time
But.... I pulled out...Comment

I buy Blu Rays for movies that I think "need" it, If you know what I mean? Like the Dark Knight Rises and things like that. Where there is good visuals that could benefit from it being higher quality I buy a Blu Ray.
If not I still get DVDs, but I rip them to a box now, and keep them on that, rarely use the disks after that.Comment

I second this. We don't have a Blu-Ray player and honestly haven't really noticed the loss.Originally posted by MrBottomToothIt's hard to go back to discs when you get used to have a media server in your house with everything tucked away conveniently on hard drives so you can access it anywhere in your house immediately.
If I buy discs anymore it's just so I can rip it to a hard drive, then the disc gets put on a shelf and never touched again.email: [email protected]Comment

I have Netflix and use it to discover alot of shows I hadn't seen before, but in reality it sucks because the content is very limited, and the image and sound quality sucks.
Blu Ray on the otherhand, is fantastic. Prestine Image, 7 channels of digital sound, and lots of bonus features. As a movie fan, I like listening to the directors commentary, or watching the making-of documentaries that come with almost every movie.
While I watch alot more digital downloads than I used to, I still buy my favourites on blu ray.Comment

Blue Ray and DVDs are far from dying off... but I personally do not use them.
I mostly stream.---

Bandwidth isn't anywhere near being in a place to sustain that kind of quality in a large streaming market. You have to get it on disc.
I also like extras, and I hate liking a flick but then not be able to see extras, because I was watching it on Vudu streaming.Last edited by bronco67; 01-02-2013, 07:03 PM.

Especially with BR, you get extras a DVD purchase would normally not get you as well. IE: HD and SD versions, extra scenes, games and even complete copy of movie but with different camera angle.Comment

Have never had a regular stand-alone DVD or blu-ray player.
I can't think of any movies I want to have permanently and that I would watch more than once. I've had a Netflix subscription for several years and don't see myself paying for a film unless I really, really, really want it.
I supose the great thing about Blu-ray is picture quality and sound if you have the set up for it......

Because there is not the bandwidth to support the quality required by true HD
(HD on the web is just a lie, like a model being teen )
If you like cinema (not TV ) then if you make the effort to see a true HD picture, which means on a very large expensive TV or HD projector, you will understand.Comment
