Spielberg going Blu-ray only?! I'm sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about!
Spielberg's Universal titles will never be seen on Blu-ray. So if you want any of these following titles, you should reconsider your statement: Jaws, Jurassic Park, E.T., Schindler's List, Munich.
All of those titles are Universal exclusives, and every other film will be seen on HD DVD and Blu-ray with the exception of two of his films that were produced by Columbia and Tristar (now owned by Sony) which makes them Blu-ray exclusives: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (in the process of being released), Hook.
Naturally there are still a great deal of Spielberg's films that we can expect to see on both formats, but it is still unclear whether or not they will be released any time soon, and whether or not they will maintain format neutrality. To reiterate, it is ONLY Spielberg's Dreamworks films that are currently up in the air.
I hope that I've made my point clear. Spielberg's Universal films are distributed by Universal, and Universal alone, so don't hold out hope for any of the above HD DVD exclusives.
