Comment Blu-Ray Adoption 1.5 Years (Score 1) 554
The main cause for the slow adoption of the media is because the economy has been on a downhill slope since it came out. People are scared to make the big purchase of the HDTV and really don't have a need for the Blu-Ray yet. Also, the main advertising of the new media has come from the release of the PS3, which has a high price tag for price sensitive consumers.
The discs themselves are coming down in price. I've seen TV Series box sets within a dollar of the DVD version. My only problem with the discs is that there is still not a grand selection of choices yet.
Given that the economy rebounds, I can see that within the next year and a half that Blu-Ray will start gaining tremendous market share over DVD. You can bet that Sony will drop the price of the PS3 for each of the two next holiday seasons and decent sized HDTVs will drop down to $300 or less.
