Problem with Blu-ray is that the movies are way to expensive and cost a large premium over their DVD counterparts. In this economy, that large premium is harder and harder to justify.
Its simple economics, "price elasticity of demand", aka 'show me the money'. The market has changed, the economy has changed, Blu-ray's momentum will fade without proper motivation. They need to drop movie prices to reasonable levels, it goes farther then HD vs SD, its the simple fact that most people don't want to pay $35 for a movie.
