Another poor comment. Blu Ray holds a major improvement over upscaled dvd. My girlfriend notices straight away and that says it all. People who think upscaled dvd offers HD like pictures are dissallusioned. Whack a copy of Pixars Cars in on Blu Ray and it blows an upscaled dvd version out of the water.

I didn't say upscaled DVD offers HD like pictures, I said most people don't care. Many people don't even notice unless they get close to a big TV on a side-by-side comparison.

Only 25% of American houses have a HDTV. A number of those don't even know what HD is, let alone how to connect a HD source properly to it. Many of those HDTVs are small, on which the difference between Blu-Ray and upscaled DVD is even smaller. A number of people don't notice a difference between the two, let alone a big difference, let alone do they care.

All I'm saying is that price is the main difference between Blu-Ray and DVD for most people, which is why the former won't outsell the latter until prices are close between the two.
