Personally, I have 100 movies in VHS and 100 in DVD, like hell I'm going to add another format.  I'll stick to my VHS/DVD player and eventually may goto Apple TV or the like.  Might as well rent as whatever format you buy it on will just become obsolete in 10 years anyway.


Why not? If you have a Blu-ray player, you can watch all DVD's and update what you want.

 It does not kill your DVD collection. 


Of course, and in fact I may get a PS3 at some point, which may make this point mute but I'm not going to get a plain blu-ray player. Since I'm not inclined to get buy all my VHS movies again, nor do I want to throw them away, then I'll still have to have a VHS/DVD player as well as a Blu-ray player (since they're not making Blu-ray/VHS players) and that's just starting to get ridiculous crowded all that under a TV.   Personally, if I get a HD TV, it'll be because of it's size not for HD itself.  So I'm fine with DVDs as long as they continue to sell them.  If and when they don't, I'll goto Apple TV or the like. I'll continue to use my VHS/DVD player until it dies, and then I'll just rent whatever movies I want to watch instead of buying and wonder how long the lastest format will last.
