Forgot to put my choices:
1) tied 4LP 45rpm and the Blu-ray
3) regular vinyl
4) 24-bit download

You'd need to move probably around 1,000 units in 2012 for it to break even. Costs are negligible and with an audio disc like Trent Reznor's The Social Network when you're only creating a couple menus there's very little Java programming involved too. The only cost in the Blu-ray really would be the extra studio time needed to create the surround mix.
Compare that to 2006 when the format first came out when you needed to move around 20,000 units as an independent studio to make money.

I always shake my head when I read people saying that CD is dead, because it's still king for the moment for album sales. 2012 could perhaps be the first year that digital downloads for albums overtake CD, but even then it's still got another 10 years life left easily.
