  6. Playback Devices: Blu-ray movies can be played on Blu-ray players, PlayStation consoles, some Xbox consoles, and specialized computer Blu-ray drives. Many modern TVs and home theater systems also have built-in Blu-ray players.

  7. Popularity and Availability: Blu-ray gained popularity for its high-definition capabilities, and many new movies are released in Blu-ray format.However, with the rise of digital streaming platforms, physical media like Blu-rays has faced competition.

  8. 3D Blu-ray: Some Blu-ray discs support 3D playback, providing a 3D viewing experience when used with compatible 3D displays and glasses.

  9. Writable Blu-ray Discs: Besides commercially produced Blu-ray movies, there are also writable Blu-ray discs that consumers can use to record and store their own content.
