We decided it was more cost effective (equipment purchase and staff time) to continue sending scratched discs to a cleaning service. We use Rubberdisc. I'm sure there are additional companies out there. Actual number of problem discs has been surprisingly minimal so this works. Barb Bergman | M

My medium-size public library would buy a Blu-ray only title if available without PPR or tiered pricing for educational institutions. Packaging is not important. If the film came out in both formats, we'd buy the DVD first and consider Blu-ray if patron demand warranted. I take the article belo

We are buying Blu-Ray now. They are somewhat popular but certainly not as popular as DVDs. This holiday season I believe the players will start to go down in price and become more popular. Keep in mind that you can play a DVD on a Blu-Ray player so really you are just opening up your options
