I have a bunch of kids movies on VHS simply because they're durable enough for a 2y/o to pop in. My 4y/o doesn't even handle the DVD's very well.
For me I say FUCK DVD, FUCK Blu-ray....
I've been moving to completely digital and storing all my movies on hard drives. Entire seasons of shows, tons of movies... all at my fingertips and ready to play without having to walk over to a shelf, find it, put it in...
For me a nice blu-ray based 1080p movie runs ~8Gb with 720p running more in the 4Gb range. Divx movies generally running around 700Mb at DVD quality.
Now when you can buy 500Gb HD's all day for like $75 and the 1Tb drives dropping in price so much which do you think is the REAL replacement for Blu-ray? Think about it, you can buy MICRO SD 2Gb cards for $10 all day long. The 8Gb full sized SD cards are dropping nicely in price so in a couple years I could see 64Gb flash cards being in the $10 range.
The replacement for 1080p will be a while so I see the replacement for these giant discs coming in flash memory paired with downloadable content.
Cartridge type systems simply work better than discs because of durability.
