Why is it hard to find portable blu-ray players?

Portable dvd players are plentiful and cheap. Portable blu-ray players are rare. Why is this?

Answer
The point of BluRay is to contain HDTV video. To have a portable BluRay player - the screen would have to support HD video as well. HD is kind of pointless for a 9 inch screen.

Many big titles come in a Combo Pack with a BluRay, DVD and a digital download code. If you want to take a movie on the go - you get the digital download and watch it on your phone or tablet. Or better yet -stream from Netflix/Hulu, etc.

With all these alternatives - why create a mechanical device to play BluRay on a tiny screen?

Any suggestion for a portable DVD player for the car that allows game system hookup?

Would prefer a portable DVD system with dual screens, and would like to have it with a battery. I saw a perfect one by Venturer, an 8.4" dual screen system, but can't find it at any store online or otherwise. I tried to email Venturer, and message failed. I am at a loss for what other system might work. We want to take on a long road trip and let the kids hook up their game system for the hours on the road.

Answer
I only found the 9 inch. It does all the same as the 8, but the reviews on it were lousy.
Everyone had problems with the latch on the door cover of the DVD.

Here is another dual player. I don't know what your budget is but this will do the same. Reviews are 83% positive
Good Luck!
