Default How long until Blu wipes out DVD?

So now that the format war is coming to a slow but eventual death, how long do you think it will be before Blu-ray wipes DVD's off the shelf?

I think a major factor that will urge the process along is the FCC's mandate to go digital. Feb. 17, 2009 will require all stations to be airing digital only content (in the U.S.), which hopefully most of them will be in HD. Once most consumers have HDTV's in their home, the demand for HD media should also increase substantially. I can say without a doubt DVD will be here for at least that long, but I would expect by 2011 DVD would be mainly hard to find in at least B&M stores.

To clarify- i'm referring to DVD, not HD-DVD...we all know HD-DVD is on it's way out!
