RE: It looks like Blu Ray is growing faster that DVD did

Yes. I don't know why so many people seem to still insist it's a failure. Because it hasn't fully replaced DVD in 3 years? Color TV was nowhere in 3 years, took around 10 to even start significantly penetrating really. Big failure. People expect everything these days to happen so fast.
As many experienced pundits predicted, sub-$200 players would do it for BD. As it did for DVD. Also, it doesn't hurt that it's hard to buy a DVDP for $200 if that's what you have to spend, you pretty much have to get a BDP if you want a player of reasonable quality in that price range.
