The Minidisc format was only a failure for North American consumers. Japanese consumers and musicians all over the world dug it. That said, it’s just a detail and I’d bet you’re going to be right about the overall point.
The hybrid is a big one; I think there are a whole lot of consumers not ready to change format again just yet, so that could easily be a dealbreaker if it’s done.
Agreed, as a consumer, I highly doubt I’ll be re-buying any of my DVD’s in HD or Bluray formats.
The only thing that might make it worth it, would be movies like Shrek that can be re-rendered in true HD and re-released. (Fortunatly I own Very few of the Animated classics)
