Even to people with big enough 1080p HDTV, BluRay is not the thing to get.
It's like the Wii: you have the price and you have a perceived value.
I know that to me, given the current BRD prices compared to DVD, BRD value is not at an advantage compared to DVD.
I bought only two things on BRD : Planet Earth because it was actually worth it (value vs price), and lastly Hero. At the same time I bought Hero BRD, for the same price, I couldn't resist but to buy a collection of 3 (or was it for 4) movies pack on DVD, in a beautiful pack, to add insult to injury.

BRD would be worth it if everything else (or at least price) would be equal. But as it's not the case...

 

 You can get a BD player for as cheap as $199

and you can get BD movies from $14.99-$29.99

btw..

 

I see what you mean, but once people really see the difference, and they buy a nice HD TV, im sure they will jump to blu-ray, DVD looks mehish on my ps3 on an HD TV, and my ps3 upscales to 1080p..
