The Blu Ray's will also meet that same fate later on as technology continues to progress and get even better. Most people today are gearing toward the streaming method therefore eliminating the need for any type of a disc period. Less clutter that way to.Enjoy what you like, and let others enjoy what they like. (C) Azrak 2009

I do believe the days of "hard copy" media are getting closer to being numbered. With modern compression codecs digital files are and can be just as sharp as Blu Ray or whatever the next best "disc" is. Plus imagine a world where you could store your entire movie collection on one portable hard drive that you could plug into your TV or PC and... oh wait we're already there
Man I miss album jackets. But I do like the free space too. Damn the conundrum!Comment

They are virtually worthless as trade in's over here in the UK aswell. You can get a bit more on ebay but nothing much. You can see from posts on here that people are buying new ones for $1 or 2 so it should be no surprise that trade in is nothing.
As was said, VHS went this way, now DVD, Blu Ray will be the same this time next year and so on and so on.......................................Comment

In our lifetime we already seen VHS come and go AND DVD's come and slowly go.
That's enough of a format change for one lifetime.
To people inventing all these new formats, stop bending the public over so often or they'll eventually catch on to your backdoor maneuveringComment

One of the big trends I have noticed is that many Blu-ray releases include a Blu-Ray, a regular DVD copy, and a digital copy for one price. I like the idea because I can watch the movie on my blu-ray LCD or play the regular DVD on my old DVD player and tube tv.
Also, just with vinyls, etc. there will always be a market for DVD's. Just think about all the movies out there (many of them out of print) that aren't even in Blu-ray format. Also, I have noticed that some Blu-Rays don't look any better to me at least than the standard version played on a Blu-Ray. I am so behind the 8 ball, I just bought my first iPod and am just getting ready to dump all of my CD's onto it."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."
