I haven't bought a DVD since I got my Blu-ray player a year ago. If I want to buy a movie and its not available on BD I'll just wait for it to be released and rent it in the meantime. Even when I rent from Netflix, I always go to the HD stuff first.
After you've gotten used to HD it is indeed a letdown to watch non-HD sources, even the pretty good ones like DVD. I'll do it only when there is no other option and its fine but its not what I really want. The issue is not the money, its the availability.
Besides, I rarely pay more than 20-24 for a BD which was what I was paying for DVD's at Best Buy in the early to mid 2000's.
