Why Has Blu-ray Failed to Catch Hold? - FoxNews.com

The reason they aren't doing that well is because in order to benefit you need an hdtv and the proper connection cables (which are all heavily overpriced in stores) and people don't wanna spend that kind of money. That's my opinion on why they haven't caught on too well. But the picture isn't always better, some movies look like they were shot with a home video camera and it actually looks line of crappy.  Major benefit in my opinion is the ability to put an entire season of shows on one disk.
