Will DVD soon be Replaced by BD?

DVD seemed to lose its favor over the years; more and more people tend to watch movies online. If for better effects, they usually would prefer Blu-ray movies rather than DVD ones. So people would wonder if DVD would be replaced?　Just the way it took the place of VCD years earlier.

With great improvements in BD technology, digital HD and 3D demand (for better UE), BD’s march to people’s life becomes possible and needful. Back to the BDA’s reference in 2011, BD showed its great possibility to the world’s media industry.

Will DVD be displaced then?

Pros:
It’s just a matter of time; DVDs will be taken over by BD, sooner or later. It’s how technology moves: isn’t DVD the replacement of VHS, VCD back to the late 1990s’, to some extent?　
BD could provide better visual effects, audio and video quality.
BD also possesses larger storage volume of 25 GB which is about 10 times that of DVD.
HD TV and 3D effects requirement are acting as accelerator for BD’s promotion. That’s to say, BD can meet people’s needs for visual enjoyment to the most.
And more and more laptops even do not contain a DVD driver which makes it impossible to view DVD movies in laptop for some.

Cons:
In a general way, BD does takes too much to afford for many people, far more than that of DVD.
Both the disc and the player, which would be a real headache, stop it’s becoming widely-used. Worse still, there are always poor pirated so-called BD disc (could be cheap as DVD or even cheaper) would cause bad impact to BD.
There is lacking of BD movie source, many blockbusters would not be available these days.
Besides, HD online video players, HD TV, are also taking part into this video battle to win its own place. Online 3D and HD videos are becoming easier and easier to obtain.

Since its launch back to 2000, Blu-ray took 3 years for the original model. By the year of 2006, commercial applications began, just for 1 and half years’ time, it beat HD DVD. According to the research data of In-Stat, the selling share in North American of BD and DVD was 38% and 62% separately. Japan, as the birthplace of BD still remains as the biggest consuming market. And till the end of 2010, the number of users from the large video rental company that have chosen BD has reached up to 15%. In-Stat predicted that 2015 would be DVD’s last year when BD rules the markets.

The fact is that newly-risen technology would like to be subtitle to the older one. Or may there exits some tech. else of even more astonishing features than BD? To me, I would most likely to choose affordable ones, and convenient ones. Probably streaming media, online movies would be my personal choices; all I need is just network and laptop. What do you say?
