i cant believe people are still buying DVDs instead of blu-rays what the actual fuck |
DVD Players have existed for twenty years, but Sony made DVD players affordable to the masses 14 years ago. Blu Ray is past the first phase of its exposure to a wide audience. Even the Xbox and Wii have Blu Ray. Once Xbone gamers and Wii U gamers experience Blu Ray they might just start to buy Blu Ray through influence of the differential experience. I wasn't a believer in Blu Ray until I bought the PS3. I couldn't watch DVD's any longer. People don't know until they try it.

Unfortunately WiiU does not support DVD or Bluray playback, at least not without hacking the console.
You can ofcourse watch the digital copy on the gamepad. I must have hundreds of digital movie vouchers from blu-ray, haven't tried it once though.
I still have a huge dvd collection, although I have upgraded my top 50 so far. DVD looks so dull color wise, image stuttering from 3:2 pulldown conversion, some with interlace problems and 4:3 letterbox versions of 2.35:1 movies, that's less then 360p you tube quality.
4K tvs will probably push blu-ray as well. With a decent upscaler blu-ray on 4K will blow 5 and 10 mbps HD streaming out of the water.
Blu-ray has only recently reach mass consumer prices, they can be had for as low as $60 now. Why keep buying dvds indeed.

Didn't Sony also have the first 4k TV at some outrageous price?
