When paying the BluRay cheaper than the cd is a sign that the BluRay is not good. Namely, the dye Verbatim made in Phillips is of poor quality and do not resist the time. See publications on the lifetimes of Blu Ray. Verbatim still enjoys a good reputation was deserved for its DVD but is no longer appropriate since it passed into the hands of the Indians. Its BR are poor. The best on the market are Sony and Panasonic.
