Blu-Ray isn`t dead, but it also isn`t the DVD killer

Most blurays seem to launch at between $25 - $30. Anything with Disney stamped on the label basically only goes lower during holiday sales. Most other movies drop to between $10 - $15 within a few months of release. If I really want a movie like I did with Sing Street, I'll buy it day one cost be damned, but I'm content waiting for lower prices for the rest.

I picked up my last batch of blurays a few weeks ago for about $6 a piece off Amazon for movies ranging from classics like Pulp Fiction and Se7en to comedies like Horrible Bosses and Tucker & Dale vs Evil. Waiting is my friend.

4K Blurays aren't even worth looking at though. They tend to sit at $35 or so and don't appear to drop much. Selection is also still small and dwarfed by even the standard DVD section of stores like Best Buy. There is very little incentive to rebuy my movies in yet another format that doesn't even offer means of incremental upgrading by bundling like bluray movies often do with the DVD version.

interesting. I really havent bought a Bluray for more than 20 in years. Even the new releases, they usually have some sale at the beginning at least at places like Target and Best buy, Disney stuff not withstanding. I wait for sales myself and damned if I even look at 4k honestly Ill be done after blurays anyway

Bluray has been out for 10 years.....
