Where are you getting 30% from? The most I've seen is about 25%. The latest report is 21%

In terms of actual unit sales it's more like 15%, and this after what - 6 yrs on the market. Also these figures are just the top 20 sales only. If they could track the $5 bargain bin dvds found everywhere the numbers would skew even more in dvd's favor. Blu-ray is proving to be just a niche market. Plus you still don't have pc games on blu-ray and probably never will. I think ms should do the pc thing and put hard drives in all there nextboxes and and cheap dvd drives just like pcs. What does it take to install a pc game nowadays - 30 minutes? How long are the mandatory blu-ray installs?
