Blueray less then a decade later is utterly useless

[76561199648916059]

As stated what a waste blueray and cdrom and dvd media really was, even sony consoles moving away from this failed media, does anyone want to see console games return to media installs, I think USB sticks with games on them, like cartridges would be much better.

Plug your USB stick in and game super fast installs, it's sorta weird they marketed these junk bluerays and DVDs us, including the wasted blueray and dvd drives that have created a mountain full of trash.

What are your thoughts on it, and do any of you watch movies on blue ray or dvd still

It was dead on arrival.

It worked for me when I used it. Loved it on my PS3.

BTW there is usually always something that comes along and takes the place of something else eventually.

I guess you don't pay much attention to how technology works or we wouldn't have needed this topic.

... unless this was actually meant to be an insult to Sony. How much you want to bet they knew this would eventually happen? My guess is 100%

You must never have used it, then.

Yeah, plus they can have the usb you bought wipe itself when it's done installing. Can't do that with a Blu-Ray.

I had 3 bluray drives. Hardly ever used them because everything went digital download.

Bluray is actually a superb physical platform, it just sadly never quite took off.
I think needing a player and the quality ended up being a barrier to entry. It made no sense to get into Bluray over normal DvD unless you had a very nice TV.

It could be worse, you could be one of those people that bought HD DVD

[Xautos]

Never saw the point in Blu-Ray, it was just another CD Rom format requiring yet another disk drive to read the inserted disc. Unfortunately the Internet was properly active by this point that includes a lot of illegal fire sharing which effectively made Blu-Ray pointless and a lot of TV series and films have been doing 1080p content since the 90's, the added benefit of higher format wouldn't have changed anything.

I do agree it was dead on arrival, it came years too late to matter honestly.

Not useless at all. I'd rather own a physical disc than some digital copy

[GunsForBucks]

Rather have a copy of something on a disk I own.
Blueray never got any disks although I picked up a drive at one point.
Rather have DVD for anime / movies

The whole thing is more a drive to non ownership. Service you have to continue to pay for, for non physical data to watch as long as you pay for it and keep your subscription up. My experience has been that such services are a rip off like when you could buy anime on steam and it got removed and ripped off. Didn't buy much since I didn't trust it would stay around.
Streamed at low rates, couldn't download and watch decent copy.

Amazon lets you "buy" anime if you have prime. No prime you can't watch what you paid for though.

This kind of stranglehold will continue until people own nothing.

If they were failed media formats, then they would not have sold as they had. They were all a success, though solid state media may be more desireable.

But note that games topped movies as the main entertainment venue for people back in the late 1990s. Younger generations enjoy games more than movies, so it's a moot point.

Dvd still beats bluray heh

Bluray so locked down its unuseable a lot of the time. Plus dont have to ask permission from epic steam or anyone to play games i just have to ask my box of games whenever i feel like it.

If you wanted to put RDR2 on DVD discs you'd need like 10+ discs lol

Main reason behind them was to make sure the lifetime of the content was limited.

By the time blue ray dvd was introduced a similar Red Ray DVD was created.

But this dvd was never released on the market.

The main thing is that dvd burners could read both cd and dvd and blue ray had no reason why it couldn't burn a dvd.

Only because you change the color on the ray doesn't mean that the laser tech becomes any better at burning content disks.

The invention behind blue ray had less with function as it was the invention of semiconductors who created the blue color.

Why and what was the goal, since you had spectrums of light you could now create white and all colors which was the invention of LED.

Before that we used red laser and red lights on digital clocks and screens.

Since many desktops came with burners who could read both cd and dvd.

The main reason is the same reason why Sony PlayStation was popular that a majority of people had knowledge how to pirate Sony PlayStation games compared to gamecube and xbox and blue ray wasn't possible to crack the code that people choose not to promote a tech who was against their interest.
