Question

Hi, Do you think Blu Ray's dvds are taken over the Normal dvds discs, as I note that the normal dvds price's are right down in money. Like new rambo the movie thats like £7.00 but on blu ray its £17.99

Answer 1

eventually it will. the graphics r so much better

Answer 2

not yet

Answer 3

Not yet but soon it will be..sometimes it really depends on the movie itself on the price of dvd..like if producers of the movie includes special features like how the movie was made etc..

its like the cassete tape v.s. compact disc, vhs tape v.s. video cd, hd dvd v.s. bluray..i heard audio cd's are a bit shaky nowadays because of downloads from itunes..

Answer 4

Not yet, but they will soon. Blu ray players are just to expensive for the average non-enthusiast. I remember dvd players had to come down to $100 before my parents would buy one.

Answer 5

As DVD taken over CD,as like the same Blue Ray will taken over DVD,Prices come down gradually and it gen rat the market for Hugh capecity and quality.

Answer 6

Believe it or not, the improvement in quality is not THAT noticeable.  Don't get me wrong, there are no longer any reasons to prevent people from slowly switching over.  But, most people will find that it is not nearly as big of an upgrade as from, say, VHS to DVD.

Some critics have predicted that the market might even "skip" the blu-ray generation.  They say that many people will adopt bluray, but it will never reach full adoption like DVD has.  Then, when the generation after that comes out (probably either a holographic medium or an amazingly fast direct download system), everyone will embrace that, having in essence "skipped bluray"

In large part, the skip theory owes its likelihood to the fact that dvds are still compatible with bluray players, the media are the same size, etc.  These compatibilities will all serve to make the bluray transition less noticable, and so there will be less total adoption.

Answer 7

It will...Eventually...  DVD's took a long time to take over VHS too... Sure it is expensive right now but thats because its all so new.  

I've heard the "skip" theories too, but there is a HUGE difference between SD and HD.  IF you don't see the difference then you're not looking at it properly (perhaps your set up is bad).  IF the amazing image itself is not enough for you then consider the amazing sound quality of a TrueHD audio stream.  It is really an incredible experience if you are a movie buff.  

I also think the new BD-live functionality should bring a whole new level of interactivity that will be really cool and will make the price more tolerable.
