BluRay will never take off. It is dead out of the gate because the industry has tried to abandon too many formats too quickly. The population feels betrayed and bewildered. It is kind of like when Sony introduced MiniDiscs to compete with CDs and audo cassettes at the same time that MP3s hit the market. MiniDiscs were a great solution to a problem that no longer existed. BluRay is the same thing. Why bother with buying a disc of a movie when you can stream it from Netflix, Amazon, iTunes, or YouTube for the same price and know that you're media won't become obsolete in 3 years.
