why should a format change affect or effect me?

so now I need to buy Ernest Goes to Camp all over again just because it's in Blu-ray?

dvds came out in 1997 and our library started buying them in 2004. so I guess we'll get blu-ray in 2012 when the "super gold" format is released.

Blu-ray being is over 10 million homes seems to be the leader to me in the number of people that are actually using the technology.
