Rather than asking "why buy a seperate blu ray player?" it seems that most households are asking "why buy a blu-ray player at all?". Sales of HD movies are incredibly low (when 300 broke a sales record, the caveat was that those numbers would be a bomb for DVD) and there is a real threat that digital distribution will catch on before blu-ray can come close to replacing DVD.
