RE: You mean, Blu-ray will go the way of DSD? I don't think so!

Blu-ray has enough expandability that it can be extended to handle 4K. BDXL discs with up to 128 GB capacity already exist, and compatible writers (like the LG BH14NS40). I expect "4K Ready" Blu-ray players capable of handling BDXL discs will appear very soon, and just need a firmware update once the 4K disc specs are finalized. 4K discs will remain a niche format for enthusiasts, although BDXL discs would be nice for one-disc box sets and media backups.

Blu-ray has been an odd format... the Sony Store had writable Blu-ray discs long before they had any Blu-ray writers to sell. So, finding "4K ready" players at Costco before 4K displays are commonplace isn't impossible.
