Anybody know what the format will be referred to as? 4K Blu-ray doesn't have the same ring to it as Blu-ray does, it overly complicates it if you ask me.

I wonder if Sony will use the recently announced Archival Disc (AD), I know that they have said that it is not for consumers, but it seems like a waste if you ask me, it has a logo which could be used for the consumer format.

To be honest I hope they ditch the blue cases and that the new format carries little over from Blu-ray, ideally I want it to be it's own thing, with its own distinct look.

Worst case scenario is for the 4K discs to just be packaged in the current Blu-ray cases alongside a Blu-ray copy of the film.

Another question, all this talk about BDXL reminds me of Super VHS, did Super VHS exist as anything other than blank media? Were films available in that format? If so how was it introduced?

I can remember I had just got a new DVD player when we were sat on Humanities class in high school when the teacher said he had just bought a new Super VHS player, this was while he was getting us ready to watch a documentary on a new DVD player the school had just got.
Does anybody have any insider knowledge? Or an opinion?

Thinking about it, I can't see Sony calling it 4K Blu-ray, what about the blank media? 4K could look like it only holds 4Mb of data, there Also has to be a logo to go on the sides of the cases, as is the case with VHS, DVD and Blu-ray. Without it being something completely unrelated to Blu-ray there is only BDXL it could be.
