Blu Ray turns 20

[Signalstar]

Blu Ray definitely had its advantages. Blu Ray was the default format for 3 generations of PlayStations. 2 generations of Xbox. Wii U discs also were based on Blu Ray technology (though officially not Blu Rays).

Sony took a write down on their Blu Ray operations years ago which means they acknowledge the venture won't be profitable. Still it has provided stability for the physical market in the HD era even as physical media falls by the wayside.

I no longer buy physical games for PS4 or PS5 but I do buy old PS3 games on disc when I can track them down. I also have a small collection of Blu Ray movies and TV shows.
