I think people are have just become immune to this new pushed adoption policy by the market.

 

Which reminds me, I fully expect studios within a couple of years to start releasing the Blu-Ray version earlier than the DVD version, and then with some movies, to release exclusively on Blu-Ray.

 

This is not going to happen unless Sony pays for it to happen.  DVD sales generate huge amounts of revenue, and studios are not going to limit their potential market so some other company can enlarge theirs.  Given Sony's moneyhat policy don't hold your breath waiting for this to happen.

Remember the studios pushed hard for the BR format (or HDDVD) so that they could "solve" the piracy problem they have with regular DVD. While the studios will continue to support DVD, I suspect most of them would like to see BR become the new default format sooner, rather than later, and won't be surprised to see them take steps to "nudge" the market in that direction.
