The problem with HD DVD and Blu-ray is they were rushed to market too early....

... 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.
