I will accept Blu-Ray when I it becomes more commonplace. I looked through all Netlix' offerering of around 800 titles and had a lot of trouble finding 5 that I might rent...many I've seen, and most I would NEVER watch. I would never consider actually BUYING a DVD disc of any kind; when a movie is watched I am through with the plastic and do not want another COLLECTION.

The 800 current titles is just not enough to be enticing $200 worth. Perhaps when it hits the 8,000 or 18,000 mark it will be THE technology and I'll dutifully buy the box.
I am not thoroughly sure on BD as a lasting format, but I can tell you that the 1920 by 1080 resolution will be the norm for at least the next 10 years and probably longer.
