When People Say Blu-ray DVD Its Blu-ray!!!! Not DVD!!!! Who Else Agrees?

jephdood · 09-06-2008, 02:17 AM

I dunno about mad, but yeah.. I know what you're talking about.

Another one is "Blueray" or ANY iteration that's not "Blu-ray".

saprano · 09-06-2008, 02:25 AM

Yep it bothers me to.

blu-ray and dvd dont belong in the same sentence.

metsfan1545d · 09-06-2008, 02:27 AM

lol

Adhamhnon · 09-06-2008, 02:35 AM

Ok, not trying to be an ass or anything... but aren't Blu-Ray discs just a newer and better kind of digital video disc? hence... Blu-Ray DVD.

Deciazulado · 09-06-2008, 02:42 AM

They are also compact, so Blu-ray DVD CD?

Nope.

Blu-ray Disc

i think some people are a little OCD no?

Unfortunately i think the term dvd will be around forever! Just like people always call hotubs, Jacuzzi (brand name) i think that the majority of people will call all optical discs, DVD. it is just a term that has been etched into everybodies brain.

Not as mad as when people refer to two party systems as "democracies"

QuasidodoJr · 09-06-2008, 02:59 AM

Ok, rather than delete my posts...

Shouldn't this thread be in off topic? What does it have to do with Blu-ray movies or releases?

There's a lot more important things to get your knickers in a twist over.

You mean there is life outside blu ray?

kidding..

DeathByAsh'aman · 09-06-2008, 05:15 AM

It annoys me, but if you think about it Blu Ray is just the trademarked name that sony, et al. came up with. It like getting mad when someone calls a Kleenex tissue instead. As blasphemous as some people might see it, it really is still technically a DVD, digital video disc. Its digital, its video, and surprise surprise its a disc!

But yeah it does annoy me. Im just being the devils advocate.

djluis2k6 · 09-06-2008, 05:20 AM

I don't hear it that much. For now, that's a good way to describe it to people who are new to Blu.

plowmanjoe · 09-06-2008, 05:21 AM

bandaid/ bandage, rollerblades/ in-line skates, sea-doos/ waverunners/ whatever they're called. it's all the same
