    Blu-Ray - Did it die off?

    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.

      here in Europe blu-ray is doing ok i guess, i like it myself, we can stream a movie hd through cable but it costs like 8 dollar, the same price as a bluray movie, thats why i prefer to buy it.
      Nothing here.

        any kind of disc type media doesn't have much of a future.

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

                      An SD/miniSD/microSD is something that you can touch and it's definitely better than monstrous optical dicks from the 20s century

                          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 Ipad

                            It feels like that. I have never watched a movie in BluRay. HD porn is the bomb but for a movie with a plot, I am not sure I care.

                                Yes, and I'm selling my PS3 + Rock Band, 2 Guitars and 6 games.

                                The bluray player is no longer a perk of owning a PS3.

                                  I love Blu Ray movies. The Pirate bay has tons of them.

                                            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...

                                              bluray rocks, but streaming is more the future. I still just get blurays off netflix versus using their streaming

                                                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.

                                                    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.
                                                    I second this. We don't have a Blu-Ray player and honestly haven't really noticed the loss.

                                                      I love watchin good flicks on blu ray. The 3d ones are better than the theater imo

                                                            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.

                                                                              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.

                                                                                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
