It would be realistic for DVD spending to fall, but it's not only because of Blu-ray, Online services contributed a great deal.
I've mostly only bought favorite on Blu-ray which I don't mind watching once or twice a year.

I have 4 HDTVs now, even a lil' 19" LCD in the kitchen, and sooner or later a Plasma or something for the family room once the projection TV dies... It's like one of the fist few HDTVs that came out, displays only in 720i and 1080i and no digital tuner :(
I've got a 26" LCD and a 46" plasma. Next is a 32" for the bedroom and I'll use the 26" as a PC monitor. Unfortunately I haven't been contributing to the rise in blu ray sales :P I've only bought 3 blu ray movies used. But I've purchased 44 HD DVD movies at an average cost of $3.26 each, including shipping.
