Yup, I upgraded to Bluray, but retained my interest in DVDs.
The price of BDs are indeed steep at shops which sell them, but you can always purchase BDs thru the net (locally, that is). I avoid purchasing from these shops considering that there are those who sell BDs at prices you cannot resist (800.00 to 1K only). In addition to the shop mentioned here, there is another shop in GH which sells BDs (& HD-DVDs) at 1.8K to 2.1K. Whew!!!!
Now, that's a rip-off!!!!
Just know where to find these BDs and you will have no problems in your upgrade. We usually don't think twice purchasing DVD's with prices ranging from 800 to as high as 1.2K, so why not splurge on BDs then which are sold at the same price range?
