As many of us have stated, there has always been a fear of Blu-Ray becoming the new version of laserdisc in the old days of laserdisc vs. VHS. That format battle proved that video and audio quality is not enough to lure consumers to a new format if the pricepoint for both hardware and software is too high for J6P.

The stalling economy is also a major factor, as people are dealing with higher gas and food prices, so disposable income for fun stuff is way down for a lot of people. That's just bad timing for Blu-Ray, although the same thing happened with the economy in the early 1990s when laserdisc had its best shot at going mainstream, although it was probably worse back then.
