Blue Ray or Blu-ray or Blu Ray or Blue-ray

I feel Blu-Ray is a bit too complicated to say. It's a lot more simple to say DVD than Blu-Ray since it is still relatively new and we are not yet completely over the DVD hump. Just like with VHS prior, the DVD will be outdated and so will the Blu-Ray with digital downloads and instant streaming. People still buy these because it is a physical copy that they can hold and see. It's that comfortability of knowing it will forever be there and never be deleted.

This is why, no matter what happens, I feel we will always have something physical when it comes to media. The most basic example are CD's. Even though iTunes MP3's far outsell physical CD's, people still by the physical copy because it is something you can hold. That sense of security rather than a false hope of it being forever.

My belief is that we will always have this notion of physicality that will never go away. No matter how advance technology gets with the digital age, having something physical will always be around.
