I wouldn't worry about it too much right now. Blu-Ray will most likely remain a niche market for the next few years. It won't grow as fast as DVD did, because while DVD was a vast improvement over VHS, BD's improvement over DVD won't be all that noticable to the majority of people.
I mean, in order to truly enjoy it you have to buy a very expensive TV, a new player and those pricey HDMI cables and the like.
Here's where you have a timeline though: I can't remember the exact details, but I think that by 2012 or so all television broadcasts are slately to go digital in the U.S. I think the due date is a couple of years later here in Canada.
At that point I can imagine that the hi-def technology will be commonplace and comparitavely affordable.
