Stand alone players are already $75 at Wal-Mart. Drives for PCs are $60 and will probably be sub-$50 in a few months. I think they already hit critcal mass. People are not buying the disks in mass. One problem is that standard DVDs are almost as good as BR's on the newer players... and people don't want to pay a premium for BR disks. The other problem is they may have a BR player in the living room, but their notebook or their desktop won't take BR... or their friends DVD player won't play it. So the disk isn't portable. It's just not getting legs like new tech is these days... a very slow adoption.
