"And when you walk into an electronics store and see a Bluray movie for 30 bucks, and the same movie on DVD for 5, the vast majority of mankind will buy the DVD, simple as that."
That's a harsh difference indeed... but where did you see that exactly?
In Italy prices go like this (example is Iron Man when it came out in fall ):
DVD : €22
2 DVD edition with extras: €28
BluRay edition, same content of the 2 DVD one plus a few smaller extras: €32
Today you find them discounted at 10€,13€,19€ respectively. And I guess this country is actually bad when it comes to movie prices.
Sure, DVD is cheaper. But for everyone going for the extras, the BR edition is only a few bucks more. It seems totally worth to me.

Its not fair to compare discounted BluRays to standard price DVD's.
In my local UK supermarket
Dark Knight DVD - 6.99
Dark Knight Blu Ray - 17.99
Thats a 250 percent price difference.
Fact is at the moment you pay a premium for Blu Ray. It wont always be the case but it is right now
