With 4K Blu-Ray's coming, it's marketshare will only rise.

how many layer discs will they need for 4k? I'd imagine they'd need 200Gigs. The availability of multi layer blu rays will only be good for consoles. 

The plan is to use 82mbps 50GB, 108mbps 66GB and 128mbps 100GB discs with h.265 encoding, 10 bit REC.2020 color (you need a new tv to take advantage of the wider color gamut), upto 60fps, they'll be coming out late 2015.

I'm looking forward to upgrading to a 4K projector. The sharpness of a 46" tv at 4x the size. Improved color and range as well, sounds good.

Blu-ray marketshare is healthy, although the physical market is shrinking as well as all movie sales and rental revenue combined.

I've bought 58 blu-rays this year already, spend about $17 average on them. Picture, sound quality and extras, digital doesn't come close. Not that I have a choice with my shitty internet. It's been acting up again, I've been trying to download Plants vs Zombies Garden warfare for the past 3 days. Still stuck at 58%.

Thanks for the repply, very informative. Yeah I buy blu rays myself and my family rents them but I just don't watch films that much. SPend nearly all free time gaming so my Blu Ray collection is only around 15 films. Plan on updating it with about 10 of my fav movies though.
