I think the biggest issue is perceived price/ quality. Most people are perfectly happy with their present DVD players. And they are very cheap- as are the movies you can play on them. BluRay players have still not come down that much- not enough to compete with standard format. Then there is the cost of the movies. Standard DVD movies have been flooding the market with titles for $5 to $10 while BluRay discs are over $20. If you want it to take off you need more $100- 150 players and $15 movies. The transition to digital TV does not necessarily mean that people are getting the big plasma or LCD tvs to watch- which is pretty much what you need to enjoy the benefits of BluRay or HD-DVD.
