In reference to the Blu-ray versus DVD adoption rate discussion one big advantage Blu-ray has going for it that we often forget about is it's backwards compatibility with DVD. I also think if studios came out with some Blu-ray short term exclusives it would boost the number of players sold. I remember I bought my first DVD player because Gladiator was only available on DVD at first. Can you imagine if the Dark Knight was initially released only on Blu? Of course it would help if the player and media prices dropped as well.
