In your opinion when did the DVD era end and the Blu-ray era begin?

The DVD era never ended.  New movies are still being released on DVD

Not bothering with Blu-Ray, for DVD does me fine.

There never really was a "Blu-ray era". It kind of got bypassed. Things went right to downloading and then, ultimately, streaming. There was a time when every household had a VHS player. And then every household had a DVD player. But there was never any time when every household had a Blu-ray. Not by a longshot.  I myself never even had one. Blu-ray was a thing of the past before it ever really caught hold.

And for those who want to hang on to physical, as the other posts here attest, they tend to do it with DVD and not with Blu-ray. Again, myself included.

It kind of reminds me of laserdiscs in the early to mid-90's, which not many people had as it pretty much went straight from VHS to DVD.
