Blu-ray came out fourteen years ago, OP. It's time to stop whining about the "new" format.

[philstar22]

Seriously. 3d is still fairly gimicky and not widely seen in homes. Blu-Ray, however, pretty much overtaken dvd as the main format at this point. Dvd is still second and not done yet. But it will be eventually. But Blu-Ray is far and away the top non-digital video format, so it isn't surprising that for a more obscure video, companies would pick just one format and would go with Blu-Ray.

Especially when it's objectively much nicer quality-wise, so of course film aficionados are going to prefer it over plain old DVD. I always buy Blu-ray when I feel like a movie or a TV show is worth purchasing because I want it in the best quality format I can get.

if anything Blu-ray is pretty useless these days.

Dvds are affordable by comparison to blu-ray and there are more streaming services than ever so people don't have to buy a hard copy to see a show/movie any more. Blu-ray seem to have less to offer other than giving movie snobs something to wank over on people who have the audacity to keep buying dvds.

Yeah this is what's weird to me. If Blu-Ray had taken over DVD like DVD took over VHS, fine, whatever, I'd be annoyed but technology marches on.

The fact that both still exist simultaneously means I can get annoyed when something is released on one and not the other.

This. I don't even have a fancy TV, so paying extra for a higher-quality that I can't even appreciate just feels dumb.

[greghousesgf]

I'm perfectly happy with DVDs and anyway with bluray I'd have to not only buy a new player but a new and more expensive TV. I really can't afford to do that.

[(Anonymous)]

???? Why would you need a new TV? Blu-rays work just fine on my older TV.

[tree_and_leaf]

Even if you don't need to buy a new one for it to work, if you don't have a good TV, you won't get the benefit of better picture. So why bother?

[(Anonymous)]

Because I'm going to get a nicer, newer TV eventually and I'll get the benefit then?

[greghousesgf]

really? I thought you had to have a flat screen

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, in that case I have no clue. Mine is a flat screen but it's about ten years old by this point, it definitely isn't new.

[greghousesgf]

I forget exactly how many years old mine is but it's not a flat screen

I have a bluray player but I get OP. It's nicer to just have a digital copy if you want it.

All of these DVDs and blurays we have are cluttery these days. I don't buy them anymore and have donated a bunch to the library. I'm happy to buy books but also like a download option because I don't want a physical copy of every book I want to purchase.

[(Anonymous)]

I actually dragged my feet on getting a DVD player for so long, that when my VCR finally died and the library stopped loaning VHS tapes, I went straight to a blu-ray player that can also play DVDs. I can play either kind of disk so it doesn't matter what's available.

[(Anonymous)]

This. I did have to go back and buy a cheap DVD player, specifically because there are some cartoons I wanted that were basically "print on demand" DVDs that did not work in blu-ray players or my computer's DVD drive. (Cheap = under $25.)

But that was a very specific thing, and otherwise I would not have owned a DVD player.
