The players themselves are expensive, but this is a pittance compared to what we are likely to spend on discs.
I have spent thousands on DVDs. I don't mind doing this.
What I would mind is spending thousands on a format that fails in the market, and then having to re-buy them because eventually the players to play them will just not be available (a la Betamax).
DVDs have been the dominant format for many years now, and these newer format players are backwards compatible, so DVD is a safe bet. However blu-ray/HD-DVD do not have enough market share to be a safe bet. Even the fact that blu-ray is in PS3 does not make it a safe bet as a movie format - consoles have a relatively limited useful life.
