Back in April, we reported that sales for Blu-ray Discs had nearly doubled in the first quarter compared with the year before, according to Adams Media Research. Now the Digital Entertainment Group (DEG) has issued a press release saying that U.S. Blu-ray sales are up 91 percent in the first half of 2009, which indicates that the format is maintaining its growth pace despite the recession.

Fsck they are still expensive...however looks like Blu-ray's gonna stay for a while. At this moment I am happy with my 1080p upscaled DVD palyer.
