Blu-ray is basically a high definition alternative to DVD&#8217;s so you can watch films in crystal clear format and a higher resolution.<\/p>\n<p>The first blu-ray disc titles were released back in June 2006 and are still gradually making their way into the limelight and the international market as only a selected amount of people understand what they are, the benefits of them, and of course the money to actually purchase one of these devices.<\/p>\n<p>The disc itself is the same size and shape as a DVD disc, the only difference is blu-ray uses a blue laser to read and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.articlepower.org\" class=\"kblinker\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More about Write &raquo;\">write<\/a>, and this laser has a shorter wavelength from its beam than that of a DVD so the ability to store more on the disc is possible, DVD&#8217;s use a red laser to read and write with a longer beam length so storage potentials are limited.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment the rewritable discs come in at anything from a dual layer disc that holds 25GB per layer, so 50GB altogether, and right through to Riteks latest development where they have successfully developed a 10 layer disc that reaches the boundaries of 250GB.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of films that are currently being released are also being developed in the Blue-ray form which means you can watch these on a blu-ray player in HD, and surprisingly the prices of a blu-ray disc are very reasonable. For example, if you wanted to buy Batman: The Dark Knight you can be looking as cheap as 14.99 for the blu-ray format. That said, for a decent blu-ray player you can expect to pay anything from 150 &#8211; 300.<\/p>\n<div class='uawresource'>\n<div style='italic;' class='uawabout'>About the Author:<\/div>\n<div class='uawlinks'><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techab.net\">Technology Advisory Board<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdreams.info\/the-new-technology-of-fiber-optics\/\">The New Technology of Fiber Optics<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blu-ray players will soon become a thing of the future with many people already becoming vastly interested in them and casting aside their DVD players.
