I think the greatest problem for Blu-Ray is also it's greatest asset. Over 70% of Blu-Ray machines sold are PS3's. I think most people are trying HD-DVD because they know what a DVD is and they think HD stands for HiDef so as far as non tech minded people are concerned HD-DVD is just better quality DVD's whereas BluRay says nothing about what it does as "It sounds more like a Laser Tag game than anything else and as it's being supplied with a games console then thats all it is is a game. Isn't it?" The last bit isn't a quote but it sounds like something that the man on the street would say, but then he's homeless so he doesn't give a toss about electronics unless they are to heat him up. O.K i'm rambling now. I'll go have a lie down....

I personally think making a clean break with the title is the better way to go. HD DVD has created confusion with people with HDTV's and standard DVD players purchasing the HD-DVD's and wondering why they don't play. CD's weren't called 'Digital Records'.
