Nobody knows exactly where Springfield is, but it seems to have an apparent barely-urban-island-in-an-ocean-of-countryside setting that'd make those comparable markets.
FWIW, the Simpsons live in Springfield, Kentucky. They've dropped numerous hints about it, but during the Behind the Scenes parody episode, they flat out told you. It was so blatant that 99% of the people didn't even hear it.
Blu-ray was always viewed as a niche format for those absorbed in Playstation 3 Game Systems, not the common man's format
Almost everyone I know that jumped on Blu Ray earlier did so because there was already on in their PS3. This, people, is exactly why one company shouldn't make across the board products. You can't make players, computers, game systems, and THEN create an industry standard. A proprietary standard maybe, but an industry standard hell no.
