Blu-ray remains the lone bright spot in the physical media world, according to the Digital Entertainment Group (DEG), with sales increasing 20% last year. Sales of the HD format topped $2 billion for the first time, with nearly 40 million households in the U.S. now owning Blu-ray players.
Overall, consumer spending on packaged media dropped 13%, and brick-and-mortar rental activity also plummeted. The kiosk rental business, led by Coinstar-owned Redbox, jumped 31%.
The DEG also released the names of the ten best-selling titles of 2011.

Do you plan to?

Nope, still don’t have Blu-ray. I considered it because I saw there was a $40 player on Black Friday, and my library has Blu-ray now, but apparently it wasn’t enough to convince me…maybe someday.
I just don’t have a reason to switch yet, I get all my DVDs for free still (codes, library, borrow) and I don’t much care for the fake-looking Blu-ray movies.
Yes. I bought a player last year after having owned 3 or 4 titles on that format, but don’t buy/rent them as often as regular DVDs.
There were certain titles in 2011 that were only available in a combo pack at Walmart. If this trend continues, people will be forced to buy bluray players and eventually regular dvds will be extinct. Studios twisting our arm again!
