The difference between a Blu-Ray and a DVD are substantial but they are not issential. Having an old VCR wth its decreasing picture quality became unthinkable when the DVD market started to grow. Now there is nothing wrong with talking down on the Blu-Ray, infact many people think your cool when you say your saving money for important things. Saying that about the DVD would net you a dicussion about why the DVD is better then the VCR.

I think many families out there have no need or no momney for Blu-Ray + HDTV. Students and some rich folk can find the time or the need but Blu-Ray's width spread succes will have to wait a few more years. It could be that by then another (cheaper) competitor has shown himself to take the cake. Afterall none of Sony's formats has ever been a succes, it's like they are cursed.
