SD cards are the final form of physical media. They are a size and density that it can hold anything you could possibly want. They are portable hard drives in the size of a postage stamp. 8k media is going to be useless with the ability of the human eye being exceeded if you are more than a few feet away from the screen.

AFAIK blu ray discs are dirt cheap to manufacture, and dirt cheaper than SD cards

How much do the drives cost? How slow is the data transfer? It doesn't make sense anymore.

I'm not sure being the size of postage stamp is a good idea. Too easy to lose and not enough branding opportunities.

No reason the card has to be so small, they could make a medium-sized cartridge for movies, games, as long as the contact points are the same. Read speeds are higher than with disc too

Same is true for 4k. Unless you are pressed to the screen, you cannot see a difference in resolution.

.....yes, you can see the difference in color gamut on your your 4k discs but not the resolution on an 80" inch TV while sitting at the proper viewing difference.

If you are a gamer, you know this is not true. 4K games look WAY better even with all other settings kept the same.
