One of the big problems Blu-ray is facing is the average consumer does not know DVD's play of the systems. This is often the first question aked in a conversation about Blu-ray. Everyone says "So what do I do with all my DVD's once I buy a Blu-ray Player?". Many are still worried about the way they got stuck with 100's of useless VHS tapes.

 

I could see that as an issue with consumers being generally stupid. however, something they are able to grasp is cost, and the percived difference in visual quality is not enough to offset the cost difference
