Having won the high definition format war, Blu-ray disc sales are on the increase worldwide, and with sales of more than 3.5 million units in 2008 - over 40% of the total - the UK is the largest market for Blu-ray discs in Western Europe.

Steve Oliver, Managing Director for www.musicmagpie.co.uk commented: “As Blu-ray disc players and discs become cheaper the Blu-ray format is becoming increasingly popular with movie lovers. But with around 1100 Blu-ray titles currently available on the market, consumers are starting to look for ways to get rid of the old discs they’ve watched several times to make space for newer titles.

“Our new Blu-ray service offers people a quick and easy way to free up cupboard space for their new discs, whilst at the same time making some much needed extra cash. This continuous expansion in our services means that more and more consumers are using Musicmagpie as their one-stop-shop for getting rid of old or unwanted CDs, DVDs and games.”

A total of 3.7 million Blu-ray discs were sold in the UK in 2008, with 1.5 million being sold in December alone. www.musicmagpie.co.uk gives website users a convenient and hassle-free way to turn their old or unwanted discs into cash.
