New Blu-ray collection
Blu-ray is the next generation video disc format that offers high definition entertainment. Films come to life with a crystal clear picture – and if you’ve ever seen a movie on Blu-ray, then you know what we’re talking about. You’ll need an HDTV, a Blu-ray player or a PlayStation 3 as the Blu-ray titles cannot be viewed on a DVD player. Blu-Ray discs are available to borrow from East Kilbride Central Library. Please check the catalogue for titles in stock
