Is Blu-ray transitioning from a mainstream medium to a collector's medium?

It is what happen in Anime market in USA, and I think it is the way to go for movie industry too.  In fact, Criterion collection is still doing okay. (In short, it means fewer units sold, with higher price and more extras per Blu-ray release) .

maybe you should show how anime correlates to the larger industry {nm} Moviesnob Apr 18, 10:59

kind of off topic, but there was an electronics drop off (for recycling) this weekend and many of my friends were lobogotti Apr 18, 11:02

I've never owned a Blu-Ray player and can't remember the last time I bought a physical copy of a movie. {nm} CommonAnomaly Apr 18, 11:04

I have a nice Blu-ray player but if it wasn't for the occasional Redbox, it would collect dust. I never buy the films. {nm} RollingThunder Apr 18, 11:12

I have a massive collection, but the last movie I bouhgt for the collection myself was Superbad, as it was released. that's been ages ago. lobogotti Apr 18, 11:17

PS3, PS4 and three stand alone Bluray players. all the players were bought right as HD lost to Bluray. {nm} lobogotti Apr 18, 11:16

lol, I'm like 2 generations behind in practice shadowking Apr 18, 11:12

lol, and your eyes forgive you?!?! non HD anymore just annoys the heck out of me. {nm} lobogotti Apr 18, 11:13

The difference between blu-ray and dvd on the blu-ray player isn't enough of a difference to annoy me. shadowking Apr 18, 11:20

completely agree on the channels. it flat out disturbs me. ours start at 1000... I've basically made her lobogotti Apr 18, 11:23

yup, packaged media is in the decline. still makes up a big part of the market, but it'll keep slowing down. But there's no evidence a Moviesnob Apr 18, 11:23

I would tend to agree. On the other hand I have several peeps I know still buying (like my brother). but I have noticed lobogotti Apr 18, 11:27

I would be buying more physical discs but I'm barely getting paid enough to cover rent, utilities and food. {nm} DTravel Apr 18, 18:40
