I would bet that they will be making dvd players and regular DVDs as
long as consumers continue to buy them.
The studios are not going to sacrifice mass sales of movie releases
while thay are waiting for the majority of consumers to switch to HD.
How long has it been since DVDs were introduced. ( 8-10 years? )
VCRs are still readily available and the format is all but dead for
movie releases.
If we are talking internet hookups and laser disc pricing for HD/BluRay
I believe mass acceptance of the format will be much slower than the
conversion from VHS to DVDs.
