Yeah, blu-ray never really got passed 50% market share and this year digital will overtake physical revenue in the US, already did in the UK.

Funny how they still lump blu-ray with dvd :/

It's a shame. I love physical media and all the extras that come on the disc. My internet has trouble keeping up with Netflix' so called 1080p 'quality'. It looks like my hobby is about to become a lot more expensive. Well actually back to when I was buying LaserDiscs, yet nowadays it feels a lot more expensive to pay $35 for movies.

Thank God blu ray discs are smaller than Laserdisks though eh.

Can't imagine if I collected Vinyl records as well. When I had Laserdiscs, it damn near looked like it. Then having to get up and flip the disc over halfway through the movie. lol, good times. 

I had one of those fancy auto flipping machines (the head, not the disc ofcourse). That didn't help with movies that came on multiple discs!
Too bad my player broke, and my old amp with AC3 RF port has been retired. I still have some very heavy moving boxes filled with them, yet replaced most of them with blu-ray versions. The last time I watched a LaserDisc was on an 34" HD ready CRT tv, it did not compare to blu-ray, was already behind DVD by quite a bit when DVD got going. Although LD analog video noise was less intrusive than mpeg artifacting on DVD.

The artwork on the covers still is very cool though.
