Well the way i see it is people hate blu ray because they got burned supporting HD-DVD , replaced all their vhs movies with dvd and don't want to buy all those movies again.

There is a certain mentality that once you purchase a movie once you should own it for life and get free upgrades.

 

 I'm not sure its so much as wanting "free upgrades" for life, as much as expecting to have it for a decent amount of time.  Someone could buy a VHS in the 80's, and it would mostly still be the best available product (excluding laserdisc or tapes wearing out).  Now, the same person replaced that 20+ year old VHS film for a DVD, only 5+ years ago or so, and now they are being pushed to upgrade again to blu-ray.  I can't blame the public for resisting it.
