"It's not like your favorite films are only available on HD DVD..." - Really? The Thing, Forbidden Planet, ...

... Casablanca, Batman Begins, Serenity and Star Trek the original series never looked this good.
>>> "I've seen your posts on the film forum about Pirates, Spiderman and other titles that are BD exclusive, and you love those." <<<
Yes, I enjoy those as well, and if they're ever released on HD I'm sure that I'll snap them up, but I usually gravitate toward SF classics first; BTW, the 3rd Spider Man film was somewhat of a let-down (if you've read my comments on this film then you should already know this), so I'd probably only purchase the first two Spideys if released in HD or possibly in BD at some point in time (if SONY ever gets it's act together and markets their overpriced hardware more competitively, but I reiterate, cost isn't the only factor here; it's not even numero uno).
>>> "Many titles you love are BD exclusive..." <<<
So far you've only noted a few that impress me enough to give BD more than a cursory look. Keep trying though! ;^D
>>> "OF COURSE blu-ray players will come down in price and of course you will eventually adopt the format. That further proves you are making these decisions based solely on cost." <<<
Dude, so far you've assumed a lot of things not in evidence and as far as I can tell the only thing proven is that your cheer-leading agenda is making you loony tunes! Those pom-poms must've gone to your head! ;0)
