I think blu-ray is doing fine for the kind of economy its in. See blu-ray is looked upon as a premium to most general consumers, a luxury. Most consumer's these days are trying to cut back and save any way they can, and will purchase the DVD copy instead because it is typically allot cheaper. I think is blu-ry prices falll at the 19.95 mark on new releases there should be some major improvement. Prices of DVD go down allot the week after they come they are released, but bluray the price seems to stay the same the whole time. So the DVD copy could be for $14.95 but the Bluray will still be sitting at $29.95, nearly double the price.
sorry for the bad grammer, haha someone called me on my phone was i was typing it, i cant seem to edit it.

Most consumer's these days are trying to cut back and save money anyway they can, and will purchase the DVD copy instead because it is typically allot cheaper generally. I think if blu-ry prices falll below/at the 19.95 mark on new releases there should be some major improvement in the brands market share. The prices of DVD's go down tremendously the week after there release date, but bluray the price seems to stay the same the whole time. For Example: The DVD copy could be for $14.95 but the Bluray will still be sitting at $29.95, nearly double the price."
