Buying a Blu-ray player in 2026...

I’m mainly a video game collector, but lately I’ve been getting the urge to start collecting Blu-rays of my "essentials" when it comes to movies and shows.

If I’m going to buy a Blu-ray player, I’d rather get one that supports 4K Ultra HD. My main concern is whether Blu-ray is a dying format or not. Players seem harder to find, and I keep hearing rumours that fewer new movies will be released physically in the coming years.

I know nobody can predict the future, but I’d love to hear your thoughts: is now still a reasonable time to jump in?
