There’s a huge upscale in quality between Blu-Ray and DVD. And there’s no clear winner between Blu-Ray and DVD because the two formats are not, and never have been at war. The format war was between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD. Blu-Ray won.
@flip86 I disagree. Yes, more and more people are opting for digital media, but it’s going to be a very long time before any physical format disappears. For one thing our internet infrastructure just isn’t all that great, in the United States at least. Tens of millions of Americans still do not have internet access at home, and of those that do tens of millions still do not have access to broadband internet. For those folks steaming media or downloading large amounts of data just isn’t feasible. Then there’s the issue of internet providers now placing data caps on their users. That’s going to hinder the transition to all digital media. Plus humans are a tactile species. We like to hold and touch things. No matter what there’s always going to be people who want a physical item rather than intangible data.
Also, seeing things in the bargain bin means nothing. CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays, cassettes, VHS, vinyl, books, video games, etc etc etc…I’ve always seen things in the bargain bins. For that matter I’ve seen foods and hygiene items in the bargain bin as well, but I doubt that toothpaste or the Hershey bar are going anywhere.
