Check some sources before you speak especially if you dont master the subject. :toast:
Wikipedia
Trust me i was here when Blue-Ray was announced years ago and even companies sometime refer to it as Blue-Ray and sometimes as Blu-Ray.
You can also see in Articles like This or in official products like This or This that both terms are used. They sound the same so its more a matter of who likes what most.
It is not Blue-ray. In fact, many of us have been misspelling it. It's not even Blu-Ray, it's Blu-ray (R not capitalized).\
As for your Price Grabber link, that's a misspell. Here's the product page at Phillips. www.consumer.philips.com/consumer/catalog/product.jsp?language=en&country=US&catalogType=CONSUMER&productId=BDP9000_37_US_CONSUMER
For your link at NexTag, you searched Blue Ray Players, and Blu-ray players came up. because Blue-Ray is a common misspell. Notice that all the products are listed as Blu-ray, not Blue-Ray.
For your JYI link, a journalist spelling it as Blue-Ray, doesn't make it right.
Besides when you speak Blue and Blu what difference do you notice ? I dont....
I only stepped in because you claimed Blue-Ray is correct, when it isn't. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't really care that it's misspelled, as I got your point anyway.
A product name needs no meaning, it just needs to be protectable. The word blue is a color, it cannot be claimed as a trademark. Read the link I provided. Here it is again. www.blu-ray.com/faq/#bluray_name
And again, Blue-Ray is used as a mistake, or because it is commonly misspelled as Blue-ray. That doesn't mean it is correct.
yes, the laser is blue. yes, blu is an intentional mis-spelling of blue. no, that does not make the name blue-ray. Deal with it
ah, here we go... :)
