Just give it time, Blu-ray is THE 1080p optical media for the foreseable future.

And there won't be anything better for quite some time.

The movie studios will want Blu-ray to succeed: how else can they re-sell old movies when the DVD market is already saturated with "old movie" releases ?

When there is a hope for a Blu-ray release with better PQ/SQ than it's DVD counterpart, I won't waste money on the DVD.

So the possibility exists Blu-ray will remain a niche format like SACD. I'll enjoy the ride while I can; it's not there is a "better" format out on the horizon anytime soon.
