| markers said: 2009 is when BD is going to really kick off imo. we will see cheaper players, ps3 will also be cheaper, HD will be a near standard in every home. also i am willing to bet alot of tv shows/movies will be taking advantage of the 50gb and giving the consumer lots of extra's (like tv shows can put more than 1 season on a disk, disney can bundle 5 movies on a disk, etc) 2010 BD will have nearly 50% of the marketshare, by 2012 BD nearly 85% |

Apparently you forgot that TV shows will be in HD on Blu-ray negating the space advantage. Obviously they could put a full season of a show in DVD quality on 1 disc but nobody would buy that unless they had a Blu-ray player with a SDTV with no plans to upgrade to a HDTV. Same argument for multiple movies per disc.
Blu-ray will not take (if at all) off until the content is at a 10% premium over DVD instead of the 50+% it currently is, players are near $100 and HDTVs are in the majority of homes. The first 2 have a chance of happening by Xmas 2009 but the HDTVs will probably take a while longer.
