I can't tell you how many people I know that have recently bought a new t.v. that have also purchased a blu ray player or hd dvd player to get the most from the new t.v. It is just a matter of time.

I will disagree with this point - most HD sets are still 720p/1080i. Newer sets are 1080p but how many average Joes are going to change a set they have had for only 1 year (probrably still paying for it)? The buy in point is low - only on the geek side (any PC owner should jump at a BD player now - I'm trying to think like the aveage Joe). Other than that you make some good points.

I am wondering why there hasn’t been any news about Blue ray other than some now becoming available and supporting it. and the chances of being more aware of the subject when we encounter it again in the near future.
