Part of my scepticism about something beyond Bluray is whether there's a commercial driver for it.
VHS to DVD was a massive jump that was an improvement for anyone. DVD to HD / Bluray is certainly an improvement but I know a lot of people who have been pretty lukewarm about it because while DVD isn't as good, it's good enough for them (certainly given the price differential).
I wonder if Bluray to something else will suffer the same problem amplified - an improvement but not one that many people are willing to put their hand in their pockets for. Yes I'm sure there's some market for it among home cinema fans but is it enough to make it viable? Or will most people be happy just streaming 1080p?
