I expect a lot of customers, ESPECIALLY those with high-definition sets, will remain perfectly happy with their current DVD players and see no reason to upgrade to Blu-Ray.
Agree. Laserdiscs, anyone?

Unfortunately, the current plan is to prevent movies from being shown in high definition on most current HDTV sets, and forbid the creation of convertor boxes that would allow high-definition viewing on them. My understanding of the current plan is that Congress will pass a law for a "broadcast flag" to be used on some HDTV broadcasts. It would not forbid the broadcasting of movies in HD, but it would selectively restrict the ability to record those movies.
