Part of it may have to do that first home videos were major downgrade from source material. The aspect ratio and video quality left a lot to be desired, but hey I could watch Ghostbusters when ever I wanted on the TV with a VCR. Blu Ray is the first medium that preserves source material so you get the experience as intended without compromise, especially if you have a huge TV and nice sound system.

Same story with games because they used to run on progressive scan

That makes sense for arcade or PC games that were ported and down graded, but for example console specific titles were made for their hardware.  When playing Super Metroid I never wished it looked better because that was the definitive version of it.  I guess these days many people may look at consoles through PC lens of wanting 1080p/60fps so fair point there Ruler.
