Having the right movies on Blu-ray would definitely help the format, but having the players at $400 and up is a road-block for mass acceptance. I'm waiting for something $200 or less before I move to Blu-ray.

Did you read the new edition of Computer Power Users CPU, yet? Howard stringer did an interview for them, and he says that prices should come down to $299 by the end of this year, and could come down to $199 by the end of 2009. So.... things are coming along. Also the prices for the movies are approaching dvds, rather quickly. Sony is investigating cheaper plastics and such to use for the dvds.

I hope they don't abandon the polycarbonate layer that makes the discs virtually scratchproof.  That is a heck of a feature.
