I've said it before, if BD wants to grab a huge part of the market, and make an impressive dent in DVD (at least until more people acquire HDTVs) they need to release SD movies on BD and increase the number, for example: release and entire season of Seinfeld or Lost on ONE disc. Everybody who doesn't know/care about HD would be blown away by having 20+ hours of content on one disc. This could easily be done with movies as well, just put all Harry Potter movies on one disc, or come out with catalog releases of 3 or 4 movies on one disc. Say goodbye to the "niche" market if the studios would do that.
