I think besides the economy, the biggest 2 stumbling blocks to widespread BD adoption are squarely on the studios shoulders. They are the slow BD release pace, and the prices of BD movies. We already know they have huge margins on BD titles that nearly any other industry envies, so they just have to give some of it up to get their future revenue stream.

My fear is that they may not be willing to do that, and if this aspect doesn't improve people will not buy either SD DVD or BD as much and the studios may kill BD to rescue SD DVD sales by removing the fence sitters waiting for the BD movie prices to drop.
