"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

Exactly. My 5.00 DVD-30.00 Bluray was one of the more extreme examples I came across, that was Pirates of the Caribbean 3 at one of my local electronics stores (in Holland). But still, stuff on Bluray is just way more expensive, no matter how you spin it, and most of the time, people go for cheap.
