Do you dream of the ultimate in high definition entertainment? Do you dream of bringing your favorite movies to life with crystal clear picture and amazing surround sound? You don't have to dream any longer, because now you can with the Blur-ray DVD technology. Blu-ray was developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of true high definition video (HD).

Blu-ray, also known as a Blu-ray Disc (BD), is the future of optical disc formats, developed in tandem by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA). Current optical disc systems, such as the CD and DVD use a red laser to read/write data, whilst the Blu-ray uses a violet-blue laser, hence its name.

200 of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer, gaming, music and recording companies have given full support to Blu-ray. All Hollywood studios and countless other smaller studios have also given the Blu-ray support it as the future HD format.

Many studios have also announced that they will be releasing new feature films on Blu-ray and DVD, as well as a continuous slate of catalog titles every month, since it is possible to fit more data on the disc even though it is the same size as a DVD or standard CD. A single layer disc can store 25GB, while a dual layer Blu-ray disc can store up to 50GB.

An internet connection is not required to play Blu-ray movies, but it is required for value-added services, such as downloading new extras, watching recent movie trailers, web browsing and etc. It will also be required when authorizing managed copies of Blu-ray movies that can be transferred on the home network.

So why should you get a Blu-ray? The answer is simple, High Definition Television (HDTV). If you've seen high definition video on a HDTV before, then you will know how crisp and sharp the pictures are and how vivid the colors are. In fact, HD offers 5 times more detail compared to the standard definition (SD).

Blu-ray devices can vary from $120 to $500, but you can always get them at a bargain at wholesale prices and save a load of money. This would be a safe option if you were going to buy Blu-ray as you are not taking a big gamble with your money.
