Whats the chance all movies get re-released on BD someday?

Blu-ray is a niche market. So the chances of seeing every movie in blu-ray is impossible. Obscure cult classics, will rarely see the light of day when some of them are not even released on DVD.

Will the studios that released on HD-DVD now re-release on BluRay? Like Transformers which originally had a BluRay trailer available on PS3 but never came out on BluRay? I have both so it really doesn't matter, just curious.

it's pretty hard to conceive of a scenario where major movie releases (like, say... transformers) won't end up on BD.

as to the OP's question of every single movie out there?

dubious. a lot of movies haven't even made it onto DVD yet... and the cost-benefit analysis for restoring a lot of those older movies such that they look good in HD can't be pretty.

I doubt every single movie ever pressed onto DVD will make it to Blu Ray. Some films are not worth it, while others have source materials that are so badly damaged that a Blu Ray version wouldn't look any better than the SD DVD version.

Maybe if Blu Ray eventually beats out SD-DVD, which I doubt will ever happen.

I think the notion that all movies will exist on any one format is unrealistic.

You may eventually see more titles on Blu Ray then DVD but I bet VHS still has them both beat.

Brian: I have a bunch of LaserDiscs that I want to convert to DVD. Could you PM me to let me know how you did it? I've been researching on the Web, and one procedure that I came across wasn't all that cheap and the process could, it said, take 8 -14 hours to convert an average Laserdisc. Hope that isn't the case.
