Blu-Ray will end up being the format sooner or later but it isn't going to really take hold unless they decide to dramatically drop the price of both the player and disc.
As of now the player alone is what...$250+? VERY few people are buying into that concept...and for good reason, why? Don't give me the picture quality story...not enough people notice/care about it enough to make the switch. I don't know ONE person that actually has a Blu-Ray player besides the PS3.
The discs cost what...$20-$35 on average? Bah....I will give *some* credit tho...and just a little, since they were forced to drop due to poor sales... I remember when, and not to long ago you couldn't find a disc for less then $30 and topped out at around $40-$45..so they have come down a bit, but again...not enough for *most* people to care or make the switch.
When the prices on both the player and discs begin to drop, which WILL happen people will start to make the transition...but as of now no one cares...especially with the economy the way it is.
List of priorities....#1-1,000
#1,000.............Gotta get that Blu-Ray Player!!
