Despite the rapidly increasing popularity of Bluray, most consumers still choose to purchase new movies on traditional DVD rather than the Bluray format.

While this is primarily because a new Bluray movie disc costs significantly more than a DVD in today’s market, there are many reasons to pay the extra and invest in Bluray.

Bluray discs are far more durable than DVDs, as they are coated in a scratch, dust and fingerprint resistant coating. This eliminates the possibility of a movie stopping, skipping or freezing with age or frequent handling.

Another reason to purchase Bluray rather than DVD is the fact that far more content can be stored on a disc of the same physical size. A Bluray disc can be up to ten times the storage capacity of a traditional DVD and thus can contain more data. New Bluray movies usually offer more bonus content and special features that their DVD counterparts.

Of course, the main reason to make the investment in a Bluray disc is to take full advantage of the format’s indulgences. With Bluray, you can enjoy watching movies in pristine 1080p high definition picture and listening to impeccable Dolby TrueHD optimised surround sound, making the most of your HD television.
