True. I missed that. With 10-20 years the general point still stands though. There should be quite a few movie blurays out there that are close to the end of their life.
I don’t think they last forever, but if the CDs and DVDs aren’t failing in mass numbers yet, I don’t see why the Blu-ray discs would be.
Estimate for CD lifespans was in the 100 year range, but the only way to really put that to the test is to try them in 100 years.
How they’re stored probably plays a major role as well. Most of mine are just stored in my living room in the boxes they came in. If you leave them lying in direct sunlight, or attics and garages at unusual temperatures and humidity levels, they’ll likely die a lot sooner.

It’s based on the same stuff as CDs and DVDs.
