yahmoncool · 08-31-2009, 06:40 PM

Hi guys - I'm trying to promote Blu-Ray to my company, and I need to know how many Blu-Ray titles are available right now.

Does anyone know?

In the US?
And globally?

Thanks!

Well amazon.com sells about 4,500...

DVD Profiler shows about 11.500 titles (all regions)

For some reason the Pokemon theme song came to my head. "Gotta catch 'em aaaalllll!!!"

Wow that is amazing. I had no idea it was that many.

A while back, probably late last year when I was getting into blu's and HT stuff, I remember reading that there were around 1,200 in the US. Probably around 1,400 or 1,500 now

Did you not read the post after the OP's post that said about 4,500?

Well Amazon is kinda weird. You can find movies from Amazon UK, JP, etc. in there also, as well as movies listed multiple times. So I don't quite believe that number, although it may be that many. Kind of hard to believe that they release 3,000 USA blu's in less than a year. Amazon isn't my authority for blu numbers

Blu-ray Disc was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association, a group representing makers of consumer electronics, computer hardware, and motion pictures. As of June 2009, more than 1000 Blu-ray disc titles are available in Australia, 2500 in Japan, 1500 in the United Kingdom, and 2500 in the United States and Canada.[4][5]

when in doubt....... wiki

however one of the sources is blu-ray.com Now available and there are alot of titles missing from here so Its much higher

Anywhere around 3000 to 4000 distinct releases on Blu-ray in the U.S. sounds about right. The cost of producing a Blu-ray has kept the number of new releases from exploding exponentially. Dvd in comparison had more titles available at a similar point in that format's lifespan.
