I can see the combo packages now: BD + 3D BD + 4K BD + DVD + DC.

While I still have some doubts as to whether 4K will be a physical format, if it were to become one I think you'll see BD + 4K BD combo packages with online links to SD and digital formats suitable for phone/pad/computer use. I think DVD/BD combo packages will disappear in the cases where 4K BD is available.

During the early adopter phase, I think you won't see 4K BD combo packages at all. I think the early discs will be priced extremely high ($50-$60 for an individual movie).

IMO, the electronics manufacturers should stop making DVD players. The cost of BD players has come down so much that DVD players are no longer necessary.
