Well to correct the age, DVD is more like 11 years old now(late 97). VHS was around 18 at the time, and laserdisc had been around before that format was 10 years old(VHS was long overdue to be replaced imo). I do get where your coming from, but technological advances have fast forwarded quite a bit in all areas these days. And as good as the PQ and SQ get, I imagine BD surviving for quite a bit longer than DVD.
