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.

Okay, we might have been talking about different things. I am basically saying formats like video DVD, BluRay,... have no advantage over the same medium with a file on there that you can easily copy to a new one if necessary. Linking the format of the content to the medium itself is a bad idea.

Yes. I fully agree and I meant storing files on blu ray disks but I probably failed to say so directly.
