The biggest problem is the Blu-Ray price is still 25 to 30 USD. At this price it will never reach market saturation. DVD's didn't touch VHS until they started to sell at an average of 15-20. With new releases hardly ever reaching past 23.

Price isnt as big of an issue as it used to be since even the brick and mortar stores have most new released under $25, with Amazon and other online retailers have alot of new releases under $20

I would have to disagree with price not being an issue. When I go to Wal-Mart or Best buy, most of the decent movies are $25-$35.

The average consumer does not know that they can get movies much cheaper from Amazon in most cases. They go to, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Coscto, Target, or other large department stores. They see hit movies for up to $35 and then decide it is just simply too expensive when the DVD is $10 cheaper.  So they skip Blu-Ray and go back to DVD unless it is a movie that they really want to see the special effects in HD. I see this happening all the time, unless the shopper is a male 20 something who is obsessed with HD movies on thier brand new TV.

You have seen Best Buy and Wal-mart selling new releases for up to $35???
