Blu-Ray disc has all those advantages in addition to new ones. So did Laser Disc offer many of these features, but was huge. And so did Video CD (a success in China and India), but usually required muliple discs with not so great quality improvements. Blu-Ray content makes sense for HDTV owners.

My point was that greater picture quality has never sold a format. Only greater functionality.
VHS was superior to 8MM for many reasons, one of them being picture quality.
DVD was superior to VHS for many reasons, one of them being picture quality.
If a format has nothing to offer except an upgrade in picture quality, history has shown it does not gain mass acceptance.
