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.

So. It doesn't have to be to be justified for some. How much of a relative jump of personal preference varies from person to person.

True, and it doesn't help that it's objectively incorrect that the leap between VHS and DVD was larger.
VHS was ~333x480 NTSC. ~160,000 pixels.
DVD was 720x480. ~345,000 pixels.
BD is 1920x1080. ~2,070,000 pixels.
That doesn't even take into account the increased audio quality. VHS to DVD was a rough doubling. DVD to Bluray is around SIX times the detail.
Can you tell on a crappy TV? Not really. And there are millions of people who just don't GAF. That's fine with me.
