The nice thing about digital is that it doesn't degrade.
Assuming that I have a good backup strategy, I don't need to replace or update with the latest and greatest format.
But I'm still moving content from analog to digital and will probably be doing so well into 2007.
Until I've got my complete multimedia collection digitized and am playing it off of a video-jukebox piped into my computer or my tv/entertainment center any which way I want, I'm not ready to embrace a new medium.
So the HD/Blu-ray thing is important to me only as an abstract philosophical matter and as something to watch out for in the nest of technologies that I should consider when I buy my next tv.
