JVC XV-BP11 Blu-Ray Player Reviewed by UsersWhen it was first introduced, it was believed that the Blu-ray would replace the DVD in short order. After all, Blu-ray discs not only offered a much better, cleaner picture, but they also provided four times the storage capacity of DVD discs. This meant that new movie releases were often packed with special features when they were offered on Blu-ray. The only problem was that this new format, like most new technologies, was far more expensive. This was particularly true when it came to Blu-ray players, since the discs are not compatible with standard DVD players.
