DVD came out in 1997. VHS new releases stopped about 2006.

Despite the fact, to this day, VHS is in nearly 100 million homes and is the most popular medium for recording TV shows.... it stopped being a viable market for selling pre-recorded content.

I think blu-ray will go that way someday, and therefore Disney will drop support...but its a few years off.

No way does Blu ray hang around as long as VHS or even DVD....it'll be a blip, kind of like 8 track...garner some support for a while, thanks largely to the PS3...but in the end, I think set top boxes like TiVO and AppleTV, will edge it out in terms of serving the same purpose.

 Agree 100%, whether this rumour is true or not, I wouldn't be that weird for it to be true. Digital distrubution and TV on demand are the cheapest ways of distributing movies as you cut down the costs of manufacturing and retailers. I don't think Blu-Ray is going to suddenly disapear, but I don't think it will stablish as much as DVD. Apple TV has the support of all movie studios.
