Thank you and I believe in your response due to reality however I think my Blu-ray capabilities were disabled by intelligence and time somehow to go against my nature.

Hi,

 

Sorry. BlueRay and DVD are totally 2 different technologies using two different laser beams. Bluray uses blue beam that why we call Bluray.

 

Did you know we also have another technology called Redray and they says it is much better than Bluray - still very expensive bow.
