so enlighten us why is Blu-ray destined for failure?
Price is dropping? Where? Disc prices have gone up in MSRP, not down. Players may slowly be dropping, but there not even the ones that are full featured to take advantage of Blu-ray. Still 1.0 clogging the shelves.

Blu-ray is hanging on and unless they start selling a shit-ton of players this year and a ton of discs, the format will continue to be niche. Right now you guys go nuts when a 3 year old catalog title manages to sell 100k discs in 3 weeks.
