I'm starting to wonder how long Blu Ray will actually last for before the next new and improved High Definition physical or non-physical platform is released. I mean will it actually eventually replace the Standard DVD all together?
I only have around 40 Blu Rays so far, that being that they are still largely expensive in the UK still. I am a big fan, but I'm currently caught in two minds as to wether replacing my whole Standard DVD Collection with Blu Rays will be worth the money, as probably 2 years down the line I'll be forced to sell the lot and get the next new type of DVD that comes out to correspond with the new higher res Televisions...
What do you lot think?

All format's get replaced eventually. People were asking the same questions with VHS

My guess is Blu Ray Discs will last another 5 years for sure. 10 years is pushing it but that could happen too.
Its still not even adopted by everyone yet.

As the prices go down and the players become more common; it will.

I'm just hoping it last's for another 3+ years. However, I can see them canning the Blu ray format in a few years time for 3D, which is such a shame, but it's bound to happen.

DVD format has been around for 10+ years and still pretty popular. I don't see how blu-rays won't last that long.

I see it being a pretty safe format at this point, but it's still too early to tell for sure. It's still a growing a developing technology. Now that prices are going down, though, and more and more Blu-Ray's are coming with DVD copies of the film, I'm making the transition into buying strictly Blu-Ray, where as before, because of the price and compatibility, I was still purchasing a lot of DVDs and only a few Blus.

I know a few studios have 10 year Blu deals, so I can see it being around for awhile. Anyone that cries that Blu is too expensive is just stupid. Wal-Mart and Target always have super cheap discs for 10-15, plus I've seen players for $100-$150.

I honestly think Blu-ray will be the last physical movie media before companies try and switch to streaming content.

I think Blu-Ray will be around for a while.I have way too many dvds to replace so I made a deal with myself to only buy blus that are animated, inclued a dvd copy or are my absolute fav movies. I only have a portable dvd player in my room my laptop and ps3 play blu.

Blu Rays have a good 10-13 years, they wnat you to get nice and confy with a big collection then up the disk space again. We have the technology for better picture than blu ray now but we dont use it.

I doubt the quality can get any better than what the Blu Ray offers so it'll be interesting to see what takes its place, if anything does, like others have said it'll probably be 3D.

It can, blu ray is only 3 times the picture of DVD. I do video editing and can tell you 25 gigs for a 2 hour movie is heavy compression it can look much better.

I don't have any but I see them still being produced for a while.
They should replace the standard dvds and then the new thing would be more expensive while they would be priced like normal dvds are now.

I really don't see how it's going to be possible to make another formart clearer than Blu Ray at the current time. I honestly thing Blu Ray will be the final stop with regards to discs being released.
