Douglas has actually hit the point. While the high def enthusiasts will continue buying into the format the hard sell will be to the average family who is already on a budget. The report I posted a link to specifies this point.

When you have a family, who is on a budget, looking to squeeze the most out of their budget, even for entertainment fans, especially when faced with budget constraints. I think that until the prices on blu ray players come down to under $200 then Sony and the companies selling them are going to have a difficult time trying to get the format into more homes.

This needs to happen sooner rather than later if Sony really expects more adoption of their format.
