Actually, Bluray will be out before AOD. It's already out in Japan. Also, not just the PS3 will have it. They also announced plans that the next wave of PS2s will have them as well. Sony is also considering Apple's AVC as a video codec. Hopefully, they'll avoid VC9.

Bossk, a S-VCR is a format JVC released in the 80s. Due to lack of promotion, interest,and lack of pre-recorded software(I hear there was an Indiana Jones release for displays), it never achieved what would have been a simple task of replacing video. It has the same luma res as LD, but the chroma of VHS. Prices back it the 80s had them in the $1000s. Now you can get one for about a $100. Most come with SVHS-ET, which let's you use a regular tape(a feature I use often). The biggest benefit for me, however, is the S-Video out. A simple S-Video cord cleans up a VHS tape like you wouldn't believe. If you use your VCR often(assuming you're not like the jack@$$es) I've seen who claim to have long junked everything connect to video, an S-VCR is well worth it. Better yet, get a D-VCR if you have a HDTV(which records exactly what you feed it, line for line). Yes, I did mean DVD-Audio. A consequential purchase, dad often buys hardware without consulting me. I put him through hell finding a TV when we moved.
