You'll get at least Blu-Ray 4K pretty soon, first discs are expected for the Holiday season this year

Well, the thing is that HVD was based in a 3D way of recording and reading data, it was a really cool concept and I really wanted to see it being a thing, 4K BD is cool and all, but I wanted to see a new format like that, it was really exciting.

The problem with HVD, was always going to be mass adoption.  And the only way to force that is to get the film industry in on it, and the absolute LAST thing they want right now is to do another transition when they haven't even shelved DVD yet.  Printing on 3 different formats is way way too costly.
