... because of the competition between the two (2) formats. The early adopters have been stuck with multiple firmware upgrades and Blu-ray has it's profile/features maturation process to still work through. But that's the nature of early adopters living on the bleeding edge.

Now, there is a push for mass market adoption, again because of competition pressures. But I think it's too early yet. Not enough consumers have HDTV in the homes and not enough have had sufficient exposure to high quality high-def broadcasts (OTA, cable, satellite). Once that exposure is there and J6P notices the benefits over DVD, mass market high def adoption could take off.
