The incentive for lowering prices should be obvious - competition. I assume that Sony, Panasonic, Phillps, Samsung, and even Toshiba would very much like if you parted with your cash and gave it to them. For that to happen they'll have to compete with each other on prices and features. As Blu Ray enters the mainstream the economies of scale kick in.
This really is no different from when DVD was starting. I don't understand why people think Blu Ray will be any different.
