Blu-Ray penetration is at 17%. I would suspect it is much lower than that in libraries and/or academia.
http://www.homemediamagazine.com/blu-ray-disc/blu-ray-household-penetration-tops-17-20731 I'm not buying Blu-Ray. Going Blu-Ray only is seriously limiting.

I would rather have the regular HD copy. We repackage all our materials anyway, so packaging is irrelevant.

It is a very visual film that I imagine will look great, but I also imagine that will cut down on sales. One alternative is to release a standard HD Copy but with bare bone boxing Vs the Blu-Ray. Any feedback on if you would not buy blu-ray or not buy something in generic box would be appreciated. You can email me directly if you want.
