It might look like a hellish puke-yellow disc, but abandon all plans to buy a BR-DVD (Blu-Ray) or HD-DVD (High Definition) player (and certainly don't expect a dual player). Those formats aren't even intermediary in the jump from DVD to the Holographic Versatile Disc.
If technology has taught us anything before (*cough* MiniDisc), it's that BR/HD-DVD will be superseded within the next 10 years by HVD. Meanwhile, the true idiots out there (who don't know a format war when they see it) will end up buying the same titles again (and will no doubt buy them again when they're released on HVD).
I'm also hoping there will be HVD-Audio. DVD-Audio doesn't compare to the sound vinyl puts out if you listen attentively. I just burnt a CD of late 70s/early 80s synth tracks (Berlin-era Bowie, OMD, Japan) and the first track was recorded from the original single, so it's strange to hear the crackle of vinyl on a CD player.
