I agree with an earlier post!! that BLU and DVD will co-exsist, for a long long long time. which i am perfectly happy with, I like having the option of watching my dvd on road trips.
And there are some people I have talked to that just dont see the point or see no major differance in the formats, and they are entitled to their opinions(they are the people that usually just watch a movie once and forget about it) I feel Blu Ray is geared more tward movie buffs, and the collectors like Myself.

I find that odd. I don't get why some people think this. Is it just wishful thinking (since you brought up the DVD player in the car) or just out of touch with reality?
72% of the avengers sales where on BD. That means that stores sold around 3 copies on BD for every DVD copy they sold. What happens when it is 80% or 85% or 90%? Can't you see that soon enough a store will need to start questioning the wisdom of ordering 1-2 or even a handful of copies just in case someone will walk in and want the DVD? Obviously at 72% we are not there yet, but lets face it that % will continue to grow in favour of BD

I won't disagree with that, some people don't care. But not caring and not wanting are two different things, also if your friend that does not care does not actually buy movies and the collector that cares buys movies who do you thing the studio is more interested in? the guy they can sell a copy to or the guy that won't buy it because he will only see it once and so not worth it.
