Noone really cares for Blu Ray here. I know more people who download HD films via either Xbox Live, BT Vision than even own a Blu Ray player. 

so do I but that is because my friends are all techies and geeks.the normal people don't go and download things

In fact Ive only ever once since Blu Ray has been out here ( 4 years ) seen an actual Blu Ray disc. 

And I can go into HMV, supermarkets etc without even seeing a BluRay on store shelves. Just DVD's. 

there is some problem with the store as blu-ray should atleast be there

BluRay prices are still the same as 4 years ago. £20-£30. To own an HD film via download is about £7.

same was with DVD before PS2

and people pirate more than pay for HD downloads

To rent HD films via download is around £2-£3. Blockbuster charge as much as £6 to rent a BluRay for 24 hours.

both are very expensive and Blockbuster is heading towards the end so don't even mention it in ur argument

UK is gonna miss BluRay alltogether. 

I for one am getting the 360s next week to fully utilise HD film downloads in my home. I never have to :

1. spend extra for another new media. 

2. Either find more shelf space.

3. Sell my BluRays when the next comes out.

just ur opinion nothing else

I personally think certainly in the UK where Broadband is so easily available now, that BluRay will probably be the last medium here. It is struggling big here.

so did DVD and we will see that next gen when blu-ray is the top choice

More people definately have adopted downloads here. It's evident by the lack of BluRay shelf space. 

piracy is really killing everything
