How Blu Ray Car DVD Players Won’t Change the World Overnight

The end might be nigh for the standard DVD but it is very unlikely that Blu-Ray will be the harbinger of death. Especially when it comes to car DVD players.

At this point in time, the Blu-Ray players are too expensive, the media itself costs too much, and there isn’t enough of an increase in quality between DVD and Blu-ray to entice the average consumer into changing to the new format, especially with car DVD players. However the players aren’t cheap to buy.

What’s worse is that the discs aren’t much cheaper and won’t display their full value on a 7-15 inch automotive DVD screen. The new players are scheduled to go on sale in Japan (only Japan, so far) in the fall of 2009. So if people aren’t looking for Blu-Ray car DVD players what do they want?
