    It just looks like a DVD, with a slightly purple tint. All Blu-Rays are is DVDs with denser data encoding.

    You probably have had one or two and not known about it, most games consoles use blu-rays now as well.

      I’m very familiar with the technology, the discs indeed are a slightly different color, and the drives have an entirely separate extra lens and laser assembly to read them.

      And BTW, DVD-R is purple.
