People ultimately like to buy their movies and although the surveys show many people don't know the difference between SD and HD you should never underestimate people's desire to keep up with the Joneses. I have Blu-ray and HD-dvd because I work with film and I can very easily tell the difference between HD and SD, bus I know many people who bought a $4000 HD TV and Blu-ray and hooked it up using a composite cable and marveled at the quality.
Either way I'm happy as long as I continue to be able to buy physical media with extra features that I can watch at my convenience at the quality level I prefer. That's not to say I don't watch on demand films, but I certainly wouldn't watch dark night that way, but a lesser film I couldn't justify parting with $25 for, absolutely.
