I certainly won't buy/rent any more SD DVD's (unless I REALLY want to see it and it's not available on BD but that only happened twice so far)
But I will continue to watch the (upconverted) DVD's I already own

i still rent dvds that aren't out on Blu...like Angel-A. But I won't be buying any dvds anymore, with the exception of the new Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVD that's coming out, just because I gotta get that.

I still rent some DVD's. Some movies but mostly TV series from my local video store. I recently watched the first 3 seasons of house over the past few weeks.

I do all three still as well to some degree or another.

I use Netflix like a fiend and will rent something that is not on Blu from there.

I am still buying some SD stuff which mainly are TV shows that are not on Blue. And to be honest I am not sure I will replace some of those with Blu if they do come out. Rebuying 10 seasons of SG-1 makes my wallet cry just thinking about it.

I watch a ton of SD stuff still mainly due to many movies I own are not on Blu, (let me beg more of The Mummy on Blu).

Oh and Hi just started posting today, but have been lurking here for some time.

I much prefer the attitude here to that of AVS.

I don't buy DVD's and the last time I bought one was over a year ago and the last time I rented one was over 8 months ago. I might rent one if it is not on Blu but right now my opinion is if it is not on Blu it is not worth buying. I do on occasion watch DVD's from my collection upscaled on my PS3 but that is about it.

I watch the ones that I have on the shelf already. I haven't bought any since I got the HD rig. Renting isn't out of the question I guess, but I haven't rented a DVD in a long time either.

Last DVD I bought was Grindhouse: Planet Terror and I got Supernatural Season 1 and 2 for christmas... there might be a few more TV Series that I'd want, but only if the price drops.
I still rent DVDs (about 60% of my Netflix queue are DVDs, lots of foreign stuff that just is not available on blu)

I have been selling about 200 DVDs since July 2007 (some have been replaced by blu) and got about 500 left, I end up watching most of them again and then decide if I want to keep, replace or sell/give away
