exactly.
VHS was a far inferior product to DVD. Huge difference in video/sound quality, huge differnce in ease of use, etc. So the $5 more it initially cost to buy the DVD over the VHS was worth it.
However, in bluray, you only get a marginal video/sound increase that the mass consumer doesn't even really notice or care about because all the Bluray players play DVDs and upscale them.
Bluray needs to be the same price or simply remove DVD as an option.
