I guess HD, 3D and 4k BD are all packed together . Edit: its a shame we don't have global figures for DVD/BD adoption. In Brazil movie publishers are stopping tô sell and produce BD tô favor, DVD... |
Home video market was shrinking, it actually started to grow again.

In Europe the decline turned around as well, while digital has overtaken physical in the UK

In 2015, Western Europeans spent €8.0 billion on home video, up from €7.5 billion in 2014.

Cable cutting, using tablets and phones for viewing is probably responsible for the extra growth.
| irstupid said: Just wait for deals. I got like 6 movies recently all for $20 each. That includes each star trek movie. Purchased Star Trek, Into Darkness, Beyond, Man of Steel, BvS and Watchman. I think they were all like $22 a piece, to be exact. But what do you mean most don't come with blu rays. Seems like they all do from what I've seen. They come with movie on 4k disc, blu ray disc, and digital download as well. Even if I didn't have a 4k player (which as I said, I just got), it is almost worth the extra $5 to just future proof oneself. I could still use the blu ray disc that came with. Nothing annoys me more than the thought of repurchasing some of my movies I want in 4k, and the 4k coming with the very blu ray disk I already have. I can understand new movies coming out with 4k/blu ray/digital/ect all in one neat package, but always found it dumb when some old movie does that. It's like when LoTR comes out in 4k, I hope they don't waste packaging space tossing in some blu ray versions as well. Everyone already has the movie by now, or if they didn't they coudl buy the blu ray version instead of the 4k if they wanted it and didn't have a 4k player/tv. |
You would think this is the time for deals! I guess it's different in the USA. In Canada they all need to be bilingual, thus seperate releases, lower volume, higher prices, no blu-ray included. link Probably redirects you to amazon.com, pitiful selection, a third or less have a blu-ray as well, 10 out of 30-40 ish.

I guess, there are still movies that only come out on DVD. Plus all the other kinds of DVDs, exercise, concert videos, self help, shows for toddlers, all adds up too.
