You're kidding right?
If not you don't really get who decides which format will eventually take over from DVD. It's not the studio's and not the BluRay association. It's the costumers. The only reason studio's want to switch to BluRay is that they have bigger margins. Problem is that prizes need to come down for mass market adoption and therefore margins will come down. And eventually the incentives given by the BR association will stop.
Plus BluRay is so far too expenive for smaller/indie studio's.
It's unwise to ignore digital distribution as a viable platform for HD films.
