Time will tell, tho i tend to lean with jobs on this one they aren't much cheaper than a video game then there's the hardware that needs to be bought & judging by the shelves of the local hire stores bluray has a dam long way to go, & with high speed bb getting rolled out downloads will trounce the disc media just like it's done to music cd's,but yeah the cost setup is definitely a major factor & is what i base my assumption on so i'll be waiting for a bit more yet before i commit to buying hardware & will stick with good ol' trusty dvd for now

Aren't much cheaper than a game? What planet are you on, exactly?

---

You obviously have little knowledge of regions ,a new bluray release here in NZ on average is $80 dollars a video game on average is $120

The price of games needs to decrease.. Blu-rays are only priced high to make a profit, they can't be too expensive to produce..

Yeah, I'd hardly call blu-ray "Mainstream".

I can easily imagine myself having never owned a Blu-ray player... just like I never owned a BetaMax player. (and I play HD movies all the time)

It always makes me laugh when people who refuse to own something also refuse to admit that it is "mainstream". My Mom and my Grandparents have a blu-ray player. You can't get more mainstream than that.
