Default Do I need to start a new library?

Ok so blu-ray is most likey to become the new format, but DVD has only been out like 15yrs or so, and i still only have a couple hundred of them, I also have nealry 400 videos and have been going through a process of buying dvd's to replace the vids, now the new formats here, the players are getting cheaper (around £250 so far) but the number of movies i see arent that great.

I dont want to change my library so soon, not when im no where near getting it to a satisfactory level for someone who claims to like movies a lot.

The average price of a blu ray is what now? And do they actually i mean really give you more for your money than DVD, when even DVD dont give you much for your money anyway especially with the vanilla versions of practically everything? So called special editions of DVD do not really have that much in it, apart from directors / actors chatting which is cool, and a few stills, which is not. The trailer i can live without.

Ok you get super high def with bluray etc, but then do i now need to spend a few grand on getting a TV that will do it justice, and maybe a 7 or 8.1 sound system as well?

In short, is it really worth going for blu-ray or just wait another year or two before the thing actually takes off and we get what we really want in terms of content in the new format, for which we all know is going to be exhorbitantly expensive for not very much?

Anyone?
