A bd player is a temporary solution.
At some point nobody will make bd players any more. Several big companies have already stopped production.
Then you would have a useless BluRay collection after your own player stops working.
The solution is of course to rip off the BluRay discs as soon as you buy them. Then you can have a higher-quality playback on a PC (due to much faster random access and sequential access on an SSD) and you can recopy them forever when the available storage media will change in the future, so you will not lose what you have paid for.
