Multi-format-mayhem, in your own comments you acknowledge that it is, in fact, a matter of screen size and resolution since you keep talking about small lcd screens without full HD resolution. OF COURSE there is little difference between BD and DVD with low-grade equipment--try watching DVD and BD on a 21 inch bedroom CRT and see how much of a difference there is.
If consumers were buying smaller and smaller TV sets then you would actually have a point. Your argument fails when you fail to account for the fact large full-HD sets are rapidly dropping in price and are being bought in increasing numbers.
Comments like "the world is leaving Blu-ray behind" seem pretty ignorant as Blu-ray continues to steadily and quickly increase market share v. DVD and has not yet even gone through its first major consumer shopping season as the sole major HD format.
And comments like "time to wake up fanboys" "idiotic BS" "truth hurts, huh" and other such crap makes you look pretty hateful. In the future, try not to confuse your narrow-minded, angry statements with dispassionate evaluation of the facts.

"I don't understand why there are so many editorials dedicated to predicting the failure of a format like there is with Bluray."
Precisely.
The Blu-ray fans just don't get it.
They write off the whole matter of screen size & resolution as "hate" or some idiotic BS about HD DVD.
The world is leaving Blu-ray behind & the fanclub are too blinkered & confused by events.
S'funny, I mean, it was only supposed to be "haters" & disgruntled HD DVD 'supporters' saying this stuff and now it's everywhere.
Time to wake up fanboys.
Blu-ray on a 32" - 42" 720p set really is no big leap over upscaled DVD and the Dolby Digital receiver sounds just the same with DVD.
Truth hurts, huh?

Actually jarofchris EngadgetHD carried the story here recently.
Figures to Sept show 720p sets still make up the majority of HD TV sets sold.
The majority of them are, by far, 32"- 42".
Sorry but you are just wrong and those who make such outlandish claims about Blu-ray are wrong.
