^The disk isn't the disruptor.
The disruptor is everything that space is capable of providing. Entire seasons on one disk, multiple languages, BD-Live, self-updating content, region free, scratch resistant lining, slowly getting closer and closer to DVD player price.
In the future, exclusive content. Because BR is very hard to copy, more and more studios will prefer to sell on BR.

Or does that not constitute disruption? It seems like what Ipod did to mp3 players.

No. It's not a crummy product for crummy customers. It's a high end product for high end customers, pretty much the standard for sustained innovation strategies.

 

The ipod is a crummy product, it doesn't allow nearly as much control as an MP3 player(crummy product). It was for people who weren't able or didn't have the time (crummy customers) to manage their music collection the way an old MP3 player would. People ranted about the ipod when it came out, they acted as though people were only buying it because of "marketing". This is all totally typical of disruption.
