No upgrade planned
I already have an HD TV. Cable provides me with movies and TV shows in HD. I see no compelling reason to upgrade to Blu-ray. Maybe when my current DVD player inevitably dies, I'll go with Blu-ray.

I am blind in one eye, so I can't see in 3D. Naturally I don't care who has the best 3D; it will be wasted on me.
