Because Bluray is too expensive and frankly the picture quality isn't a leap like VHS to DVD was. DVDs quickly dropped to VHS like prices too, and budget price DVDs lower than VHS ever were. Bluray has forever been more expensive than DVD.

If I buy a movie, I still buy it on DVD.


Do you have eyes? Lol on my 60" Plasma (not even brand new, it's a few years old now, Kuro Elite) the difference is LUDICROUS. 720x480 vs 1920x1080, and the sound quality. Yeesh.

On a 32" 1366x768 "720p" TV, the difference isn't too big. But any decent recent 1080p TV the difference is nuts.


Not a leap like VHS to DVD.


The resolution increase is actually much larger from DVD to BD, and DVD on my TV looks about like VHS to me. It somehow manages to be both muddy AND blocky.

Funny enough, people often said the exact same nonsense about DVD when it came out.

"Oh, VHS looks just as good as DVD".

"Really?, what TV and sound system do you have?"

"My RCA 21" from 1987, I just run the sound through my TV"

"ooooooookay then"
