Yes, but I bet many more BDs will be rented rather than
bought for a while yet.

I think this is due to a change in how the market is working, not any
reflection on BD technical benefits.

While many DVDs look better than ever on my new 60" HD set, the slight extra
cost for BD as opposed to DVD was easy to swallow.

The ready availability of rental media ensured that in nearly 2 decades I
purchased only integer numbers of pre-recorded tapes and DVDs.

Netflix selection by web and delivery by mail or download only made my
non-purchase habits more complete.
