Whip, I've had the same thoughts...even as far as the immersion discs. I'm hoping Blu-Ray makes some inroads, but I feel that the overall trend, unfortunately, is towards low-fi packaging.

I'm hoping that, ironic as it would be, studios start supporting multi-channel B-D discs to give them something physical to sell... that might not be as easy to "freely" exchange on the internet.
