Also, point 6 is simply wrong. The entire reason content providers want to move to blu-ray is because DVD got too cheap for them. Too many of DVD's sales are happening at the cheap 'budget' prices, and it's too hard to sell a movie at a higher price. Blu-Ray means they can prop up the prices somewhat.
To the content providers, Blu-Ray disks being at the cost of DVDs means that they lose more money per sale. Right now the increased cost of blu-ray is only partially because of the increased cost of the disk; the vast majority of it is for the content owners, who are not about to eliminate the extra 10+ dollars they make per sale. Also, for the foreseeable future, you won't be seeing the bargain-bin Blu-Rays that have been giving the content industry so mush angst in their DVD incarnations. Heck, you may never see them on Blu-Ray, as by the time the format matures to the point where the content industry is ready for them, Digital Distribution may have taken over the long tail part of selling content. DVD had both the blockbusters and the long tail; it was much cheaper to print a DVD than to record a VHS tape, after all. The content industry is purposely not putting these old movies on blu-ray right now, to keep average profit per disc sold high, and reduce the incentive to buy cheap, older movies over more expensive, new movies. That won't be changing quickly.
Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.
