My old TV and hifi system needed replacing so I bought new ones this weekend: it will be nice to hear my vinyls again. Been a while. :smile:

I also bought a BluRay player for $15 so at least I can watch one of the three BluRays I have  :buggedout: :wink:

I think I've only got two Blu-ray movies myself. Is Blu-ray still considered fairly cutting edge or has its era come and gone?

For physical media it's the standard. New films are now released on Blu-ray, DVD issues are rare and usually only for the lowest-budgeted films. There's a new even higher-end format called UHD, but the improvement over Blu-ray is so modest that I don't think it would be noticeable except on the largest home theater screens. I don't know anyone who has a UHD player. Of course, most casual movie fans stream nowadays and never even touch physical media.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

Seeing as how I paid less than $20 for my BluRay player, I'd say its' era has come and gone  :buggedout: :wink:
