Does anyone here remember VHS? The long rewind times, tapes getting "eaten" by the player, constantly having to clean the heads, picture quality degrading with time and number of playbacks. And the picture quality of a brand-new VHS movie was nowhere near a dvds picture quality. VHS sucked hard compared to dvd in every way. Blu-Ray is a minor upgrade to dvd. I only buy special effect heavy movies on Blu-Ray, like Transformers, Avatar, Blade Runner, etc. My wife and 2 of her friends couldn't really see the difference in Transformers Blu-Ray and the upscaled dvd version on my 1080p 50" Hitachi plasma, saying that the dvd version is "good enough". That in a nutshell is why Blu-Ray hasn't taken off. People with 100s of dvds aren't going to go out and replace their library because upscaled dvds are "good enough".
