Basically just the title. With DVDs getting tossed to the wind it made me wonder when will blu-rays go? I’m gonna miss bloopers and extra scenes
Edit: A bit confused but the general consensus is that in some areas BRs have already began to be phased out while in others they’re just trucking along perfectly fine. It’ll be that way until they stop being profitable to the studios who make them. Is that correct? I don’t think the 8k argument is valid imo since that’s really niche currently.
I’m going to assume you understand the most basic principals of our mode of production, so I’ll give you an educated guess as to when, not why, since that’s the question you asked.
In 2034, if we follow the DVD timeline. However if it’s the only remaining physical media used by distributors, I’d guess it lasts decades longer.
I hope we graduate (or revert, depending on how you look at it) to tape, as collectors would be better off with a medium that’s built to last.
Why do you say Blu ray isn’t made to last compared to tape? I would think it was the reverse
Oh, you’re right. I looked it up and some of these archival blu-rays are claiming they can outlast tape, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-DISC
Now I’m going to have to look at what an M-DISC burner would cost and compare it to my aws glacier bill.
Oh D-VHS, we didn’t deserve you.
