- Not only is pricing a key factor, most of the people I have discussed blu-ray technology with do not feel the need to have to go out and upgrade. The move from VHS to DVD is still recent in the minds of many consumers.
Although Blu-Ray is an amazing "next generation" technology, with higher capacity and crystal clear media content, consider the state of the economy. Rising fuel expenses, and the impact of rising costs towards consumer goods. Naturally households will hold off spending hundreds of dollars to buy an unnecessarily needed blu-ray player. Also, for us technical folks out there who would use blu-ray as a way to save data, the sheer cost of BD-R (blank blu-ray discs) is still very costly. Historically consumers know prices of "New Technology" drop given time. Blu-Ray usage and sales will undobtedly supersede that of DVD as the technology is adopted by more and more households. Wikipedia.org has a great biography on Blu-Ray, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc more interesting is Alternative disc technologies which discusses technologies that are being developed that will eventually (possibly) make Blu-Ray technology look antiquated. Oh the joy of Technological Evolution.
