And there won't be anything better for quite some time.

The movie studios will want Blu-ray to succeed: how else can they re-sell old movies when the DVD market is already saturated with "old movie" releases ?

When there is a hope for a Blu-ray release with better PQ/SQ than it's DVD counterpart, I won't waste money on the DVD.

So the possibility exists Blu-ray will remain a niche format like SACD. I'll enjoy the ride while I can; it's not there is a "better" format out on the horizon anytime soon.

Yes, but as you are well aware, most catalog titles don't sell that well on BD, hence the studios are focusing on new releases. Don't expect to replace a sizable and varied DVD library with BD.

  the downside of investing in a big screen is the urge to feed it the best source material.

    But I won't buy a bad movie just because it has a good picture.
