I just bought my Blu ray home theatre system a few weeks ago. I still by DVD's mostly if the particular thing is not available on DVD. Since the majority of my collection is Mixed Martial Arts shows I don't have much of a choice. I can only think of 3 titles that are actually on Blu ray (for region A in North America anyway).

its a shame the ufc probably wont release all their shows on blu-ray

I still buy DVD, and always when all the features are the same on both DVD and BR.  I could care less about BD-Live.  Making my own commentary and chatting with other nerds doesn't interest me.  And I will ALWAYS buy the BD+DVD combo packs because I only have 1 BR player and for traveling, since none of my family memebers have BR players.

All the big titles are pretty much the same price as the dvd these days like harry potter, terminator, inglorious basterds etc (of course the non sale price is much higher lol).

Yes.

I dont find any reason to get movies like Funny People or Pink Panther on Blu. Its the grand movies with great cinematography like Australia and Planet Earth or blockbusters like Transformers, Dark Knight, and the Pirates trilogy. Hell even Pixars flicks look absolutely stunning.

But I am finding, as previously pointed out, that some Blu-rays are coming out cheaper than their single disc dvd counterpart, ie Hangover. I bought the unrated Blu-ray for $15.99, whereas the single disc rated edition was $18.99 and 2-disc unrated was $22.99. In that case I will go Blu on what I would consider a non-blu-worthy movie.

All Blu-rays look amazing, if transferred correctly, but it wont be til prices REALLY drop to what we're used to seeing in dvds when everyones Blu collection will spike.

I still probably buy more DVDs than Blu-ray, mostly due to price.  If it's a film I know I want on Blu I will do my best to hold out for it so I don't double dip.

The most I think I have ever spent on a Blu, not counting gift sets, is $22.

And even that is kinda high in my book. I've had a rule for years not to spend more than $10 on a DVD. Once I got a Blu-ray player about seven or eight months ago I raised the limit to $15 for Blu-rays, but kept it at $10 for DVDs.

So far I own 61 Blu-rays, and the most I've paid is $16.99 for Shawhank Redemption (I know, rules schmules, but I'm a sucker for that movie) but that's the only time I've broken my rule. The second most I've paid is $13.99 for Pan's Labyrinth and a few others. The least I've paid is $8.30 for The Dirty Dozen..

Point is, I don't think cost is that much of a negative factor anymore. Availability and timing are the two big Blu-ray deterrents in my book.

Availability meaning it's still semi-hard to get good Blu-ray deals. With my $15 rule I don't have much luck just strolling into Best Buy and browsing their selection. Although it does happen that you can strike gold even there.

Timing meaning if you want a new release on the Tuesday it comes out, then yeah, the price for a Blu-ray is generally higher than for the DVD. But if you're willing to wait a while you can find the same title at very competative prices.
