The other reason being that quite frankly on an ordinary size (<28 inch) 
TV in the corner of an ordinary sized living room many people won't 
notice the difference. And most TV broadcasts are still SD and likely to 
remain that way for a while because of the huge bandwidth needs of HD 
broadcast.

Sure movie buffs with a big screen in a dedicated home cinema room will 
buy HD versions of movies but I think it will take a very long time to 
outdo DVD if it ever does.

Look how long DVD took to replace VHS despite it's numerous advantages. 
Now consider that blue-ray/hd-dvd have only one real advantage (quality).
