Do you still call them, "DVDs" even if they're not?

I just realized I still do this. I only buy blu-ray's now, I almost never buy a DVD unless there's no other alternative (usually cartoons are still only released on DVD), but I never call them "blu-ray's."

Like I don't say, "Oh I have to buy this new movie or show on blu-ray when it comes out." I still say, "I'll have to get the DVD," even if I don't buy DVDs, I always buy the blu-rays.

It's really weird because nobody says VHS tapes anymore, but I still call them "DVDs" regularly. Does anyone else do this?
