bluray is nothing like dvd
dvd offered FUNCTIONALITY improvements over vhs
bluray just offers better video/audio
people still haven't been able to give ONE example of technology overtaking the old due solely to superior audio/video...but i can give a counter-example: mp3 players are worse quality than cds but have overtaken them due to the FUNCTIONALITY upgrades
also, over 50% of hdtv owners don't even hook up an hd source to them
and 25% think they are watching hd content when they aren't
people buy hdtvs because they are flat and can hang on the wall...the mass consumer doesn't care enough about hd
and dvd already looks better than sdtv on hdtvs, so people who have a plasma without hd hooked up into it (most of them) see that their dvd is better than normal tv and wonder "why?" if asked about upgrading to bluray
bluray will take off when it's
