In fairness its taking a fair old time to overhaul DVD.

I guess the recession isnt helping.

Is it still outperforming DVD in like for like terms ?

I seem to remember that DVD had pretty much dislodged VHS three years after launch.

Yeah it is taking awhile to overtake DVD, but in fairness it has only been the only HD disc format for 18 months.   If it had been the only one since it had launched I am sure by now you would see the sales percentages in the 15-25% range instead of the 7-15% range.  

I take on board what you say. However DVD had in 4 years become the dollar dominant format.

Blu Ray is 3 years old and is barely scratching the popularity of DVD in terms of dollar sales in comparitive terms.

I think the format war, coupled with a recession and the high cost of entry (New HD telly and player) are holding the Blu Ray revolution back.

I dont know what the solution is but more needs to be done to push Blu Ray. Most non tech people still dont know about it.
