Way to bet on the wrong horse.

I have neither the money nor interest to invest in a Blue-Ray player.

they are cheap if you buy them the 1st week they release they are the same price as DVDs

I buy my DVDs from pawn shops... 6 for £10. You can't get blu-ray that cheap.

You're a fool if you buy a film on it's release date.

Really? It is the media that is supposed to replace DVDs. It allows for better sound and video quality.

I think streaming is the media that will replace DVDs.

That's if the ISPs globally increase the internet speed for their subscribers and/or lower the price of their larger data bandwidth plans.

A lot of 3rd world countries and developing countries still have extremely slow broadband coverage.

They probably don't have the HD TVs necessary to enjoy Blu Ray either then though.

And connection speeds should vastly improve. There is mobile broadband being tested in Sweden right now faster than most local broadband available.

Not exactly..

I've been to most 'developing countries', and you'll be surprised that many middle earners own HDTVs, iPhones and other upscale gadgets.

I do agree though that connection will continue to improve.. but it will take quite some time.

Got a PS3 for christmas, so already did.

So someone just told me if you get a PS3 and play movies on it then there is this loud humming noise. Any truth in that?

So I was just reading this article that was saying that people have started buying Blu-ray players at much higher rates this Christmas season because the prices have dropped so dramatically. But part of me wonders whether or not Blu-ray is not going to be displaced with online streaming. So here is my question, if you don't have a Blu-ray player are you planning on buying one?

Nope, my parents have one and when I went over to visit and watched a movie on it, I didn't see the difference. I like DVDs and I'll stay with them until the stop making them.
