True, they are trying to make money, but...
Even though it's a new format, I still don't think they compare with the revolution from VHS to DVD.
Watching movies totally changed with the switch to DVDs. With this new format not much is changing... It's still a disc, they'll play the same way (menu's)... the difference is more space, better picture. Honestly, industry is making people look like gluttons for bigger, better stuff... and that's the way it'll be sold as if we want this... in time we'll be forced to this stuff. But, if you think about it do we really need it? No! DVD's we needed. We needed the change from the "primitive" format. But, this really isn't practical, not for a long while off.
This is a good example... CD's have been in use over a decade. Are they coming out with a new format? Not really... They've satisified the needs and nothing bigger or better has been released. The same thing should go with DVD's.

Yes. This is happening just as Vicious said. Before CD's, everone used to play cassette tape in a car. After CD came out, it didn't take that long for tape to become obsolete. I had to replace all my tapes with CD, soon after. And VHS with DVD a few years after.
