I think when HDDVD is "defeated" and only Bluray is the HD disc then i think consumer confusion will leave and more people will buy into Bluray.

If and when that happens, HD players will be $100 or less and the PS3 will still be $200 or more, making the PS3's Blu-Ray capabilities irrelevent to most consumers.

The PS3 may have given Blu-Ray a shot in the arm but by the time Blu-Ray is mass market in the eyes of consumers, they'll be looking at the much cheaper stand-alone players and not the PS3. 

The BD features will be more important, but only when the price of the BD players is around $200, and the BD discs $19-20.  Right now, the BD discs are a little too expensive to really mean a whole lot for consumers, but as with all things, greater numbers of adoption will bring the price down down down.
