I agree with you Slapper. I think even as the average consumers begans accepting and buying HD discs I still don't see them taking any great interest in upgrading their existing dvds which to the majority look and sound just find. It is a very small percentage of the population that strive to have the best when it comes to audio and sound.
Downloaded music and movies is huge and even with the obvious decrease in the level of quality people are happy. I know tons of people who won't even spring $10 for a dvd because they would rather just download it and copy to disc let alone pay even more for HD media.
Even the people that are impressed with my setup and the look of my Blu ray movies on the screen are in no rush to go out and dive into Blu ray themselves. I jumped aboard Blu ray a couple of months into the new year and my collection stands at 75. Among friends and acquaintances I am still the only one who has embraced HD, no one else seems to really care to be honest.
