With few exceptions, I don't plan to upgrade to Blu any of my 600+ SD-DVD collection ever, I'm as much as an Audiophile/videophile as anyone here, but an up-converted good quality sDVD with DD 5.1/ DTS is more than GOOD ENOUGH for mere mortals. If the price is right I will upgrade selected old original releases that looked really bad, some were not even released in WS ever, but I'm not willing to pay more than 14.99 for any NEW title regardless, 7.99 to 9.99 is my cut-off amount for back catalog. As for “Collecting” ? I won't let that dog bite me again, I bought many sDVD titles thinking that they might be “Collector's Items” in the future, only to find them now selling for $5.00 or less brand new, and for a dollar a pop or less at any garage sale. Blu Ray will never be as popular as sDVD is/was, and chances are, given the popularity of Streaming, Downloads, and dollar a day rentals, that current Blu market penetration numbers are the best we'll ever see.
In a few years time, all Blu Ray titles available today will be selling at garage sales/Bargain shops for what a sDVD sells there now, by then, if “Streaming” takes over and packaged releases dwindle, I might pick up a few more.
