Will it kill the DVD like the DVD killed VHS?

Blue ray is a next generation optical storage using a thinner blue spectrum laser compared to standard DVD. I doubt it will supersede DVDs however the next five years are going to be exciting at the prospect of new gaming limits. It will also take time for Blue-Ray to filter into homes as the new systems will be very costly at first.

The Blu-ray Disc (BD) is an optical disc format designed for high-density storage of high-definition video and data.
The name Blu-ray Disc is derived from the blue-violet laser it uses to read and write to the disc. A Blu-ray Disc can store substantially more data than a DVD, because of the shorter wavelength (405 nm) of the blue-violet laser (DVDs use a 650-nm-wavelength red laser and CDs use an infrared 780 nm laser), which allows more information to be stored digitally in the same amount of space. In comparison to HD DVD, which also uses a blue laser, Blu-ray Disc has more information capacity per layer (currently 25GB, but test media is up to 200GB). Sony has released 50GB recordable BDs and will soon be releasing 50GB BD media discs.In August 2006, TDK developed a Blu-ray Disc with a 200GB capacity

What does it matter unless you want to gamble your hard earned cash? You have identified the problem, albeit the wrong example, but join in the battle and you have a 50% chance of winning.

It was Ray Charles after his demise. It's now green and a bit mouldy Ray.
