When DVD came out, people were eager to adopt a digital format that wouldn't decay over time and could be navigated without fast forwarding or rewinding. DVD was a break through in convenience.

HD Formats just offer a prettier picture if you have an HD-TV. You'll forgive the consumer if they're not as motivated to begin rebuilding the library they've spent the last ten years building.

Actually the thing that sold DVD over VHS was the fact you could put a lot more on a DVD (extras). Guess what, even in HD you can put more on Blu-ray than on DVD. Again you don't have to rebuild your library when Blu-Ray players can play DVDs.

And how do you figure that? Considering extra features and bonus content  didn't even have a nitche until well after DVD was established I think we can handily call your reasoning the well wishing of someone who wants to believe HD formats will recieve the same warm welcome.

A format that is easier to navigate and won't decay is far more appealing to a consumer anyday than tacky extras which were what DVDs had, if that their first couple of years.
