People with HDTV stubborn to convert to Blu-ray, why??

[Kuraudo]

Ok I can't figure where you guys have general discussions regarding blu-ray. Please move it if you feel you don't like where it is. Apology in advance.

Anyways, I still don't understand why many people are very reluctant to convert to Blu-Ray. I would understand during the time there was a format war, and players were still $599, but time's have drastically changed.

In my common research, the price of Blu-Ray players have drastically come down and are at the SAME price level as new DVD players just 3 years ago. I can find Samsung blu-ray players here for just $99

In addition, the price gap of blu-ray discs are within a couple dollars more , but much of the time I've seen Blu-rays go for LESS than the dvds! IN fact, I save quite a deal on "Like new" on Amazon and got many of my blu-rays for $8! Even brand new blu's are $10 most of the time now.

I told people that you don't have to sit and convert every one of your DVD's to blu-ray right away (Cause thats what they seem to insist?) But I'm like, what you're never going to buy a new movie? Just whenever you buy a new movie, get it on Blu. You and your $3000 HDTV will THANK YOU.

Tell me what you guys think! Any solutions?
