In what ways? I thought blu-rays were just better DVDs. Except DVD players are probably cheaper.

I don’t feel like laying out why but lucky both of us I explained my feelings to somebody else 3 weeks ago:

Blu-ray if I have to but I hate when filmmakers release exclusively to that format because I have to use a downstepper to convert the HDMI output they’re only putting on the damned players these days and at that point just sell me a DVD. The picture quality would be comparable* and superior in the realms of ease of connecting to a computer more easily (you priced external BR drives? yeesh) and ease of watching. How many Blu-Ray players is a person liable to have, the one? Another? I hope you feel like watching it wherever they’re set up. DVD you can throw in a a €9 external drive, any laptop made after 2007 and before you started needing external drives, any of a dozen cheap DVD players you may have haven’t thrown away, a Playstation2, a hacked Wii, that karaoke machine you keep in your kitchen. They made mad portable players as I recall; you could watch your DVD film in a park

Also DVD menus don’t utilize java. Fuck off. Much as I’m wont to point out ain’t no tape ever told me [OPERATION PROHIBITED], no DVD has ever tried to connect to the internet while I watched it. Bad Disc!

Sort answer is DVDs are plenty adequate for every use case I care about while being cheaper and easier to play.
