I've started to replace my entire DVD collection now with Blu Ray's.How long do you think it will be before i have to replace the Blu Ray's?10 years?5?Are they already working on a successor to the Blu Ray?
How long do you think Blu Ray's will last before we replace them with something else?

We went from SD to HD, so Blu-Ray provided better picture. I guess if 4K becomes standard, they will have to come up with a new format.

Cant wait for 4K players 
The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) is already working on 4K Blu-ray:
100GB discs point to 4K Blu-ray
An announcement by Singulus Technologies, a maker of replication machines that produce Blu-ray discs, points toward a new standard for 4K Blu-ray.

A physical media standard for next-generation 4K video now looks closer than ever.
A German optical disc replication equipment maker by the name of Singulus Technologies has announced details on a new machine, the Bluline III, capable of manufacturing triple-layer Blu-ray discs that can store up to 100GB.
"The triple-layer Blu-ray discs with 100GB storage capacity, is the preferred playback medium for the new 4K technology" reads the Singulus release.
The current Blu-ray disc standard used by most home video releases supports capacities up to 50GB.
The announcement of machines capable of delivering higher-capacity pressed discs comes prior to any official word from the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), the industry coalition that's currently discussing a new standard for 4K Blu-ray in its committees.
But as HDTVTest.uk rightly points out, the new Singulus machines are as solid an indicator as any that an official 4K Blu-ray format is on the way soon: "After all, there would be no other use for a machine capable of manufacturing factory-pressed 100GB discs if a hardware update was not imminent."
The last such major announcement of a Blu-ray specification by the BDA was December 2009, when the association revealed the 3D Blu-ray spec. Plenty of 4K news is expected around the time of the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show in January, which seems a natural time for the BDA to make 4K Blu-ray official, absent any delays.
Sony's proprietary video player notwithstanding, lack of content is one of the major knocks against 4K. With the 4K-friendlier HDMI 2.0 standard finally official, and numerous new 4K setshitting the market at ever-more-affordable prices, the industry's pumps are primed to address that lack.

I think there's already talk of triple layer 100gb blurays for 4k (edit: ninja'ed ^^^)
I think all that physical media is on the way out though
4K Blu-ray is supposed to be quadruple-layered 100GB (Each layer on a Blu-ray is 25GB). Folks were surprised that Sony didn't put a Quadlayer Blu-ray dive in the PS4.

Precise and cold hearted
Replacing my dvd collection with blu ray seemed like a good idea but after 10 or so movies I said fukk this. Only buy the classics on br now. Waste of money IMO.
I just came up with a radical idea, I'm gonna purchase servers and write a script that lets user access movies and television from their mobile devices or anything with an internet connection
....I just need a name for this technology, maybe "streaming" technology. Call it "Internet Flix" or sell my technology to a larger corporation like Amazon.
