You miss a crucial point:
The BDA has no real power!
Outside of the technical standard they are mainly a marketing instrument, but 6they don't really have much money or influence.
They can't order their members to do something, and that is the problem.
The individual companies thzemself control their titles and prices. In fact if one company would decide to got purely to Blu-ray competitors will try to offer alternatives on DVD to increase their own market share.
Most casual buyers are very price sensitive. They don't necessarily buy a title when it arrives, but when its price appeals to them. This makes a timed release extremly difficult. They might come to a store due to marketting of one film, but if they have doubts if it is worth the price, they only need to see another title that they thought about and if its DVD is cheap they lerave the store with the DVD and decide to wait till the original movie is cheaper (and on DVD)...
