Wow maybe Sony was right about Blu-ray?

One advantage BR vs DVD has over DVD vs VHS is backwards compatibility. Millions of people ended up "upgrading" their old movie collection. I doubt anyone who still has an old VHS collection still watches any of those movies instead of the digital versions. With BR players people don't need to feel compelled to re-buy old movies, as long as it's not a favorite or the newer HD version comes packed with some very desirable features. Moving into BR will eventually come as a regular player upgrade (when the prices get friendly enough), just like right now if someone plans to change their old TV set they are most likely thinking of buying one of those nice slim flat LCD/plasma screens.

This is one of the most intelligent forum resposes all day

 Agreed. This is part of a point I brought up much earlier in this thread.

This is the same thing that happened when my Fathers TV gave out. He realized "Why spend this much on an SDTV when a little more gets me this flatpanel HDTV?"

This was around the same time when people were saying HDTV's weren't going to sell well either.
