For the moment, I plan on keeping my HD DVDs until I'm tired of watching them and one day perhaps I will give it all away and probably only repurchase a few select titles. I like to keep my repurchase rates low: I think a media collection ought to evolve to reflect it's owner's changing tastes. Most of the titles I owned on LaserDisc, Beta, VHS and LP collection #1, I've never sought to replace.

A few likely exceptions include:

Matrix #1
2001
Lost In Translation

Very important to remember that even Blu-Ray's future is by no means assured, and that we are likely to transition to other formats within our lifetimes.
