I'm just wondering.. since most (if not all) of the recent anime titles are broadcast in HD, wouldn't it be a waste to buy the DVDs when they come out? What are the chances of Blu-ray re-releases? I don't know how they do it in japan, but series like Gundam 00 etc are made for HD. To reduce the quality to DVD standard seems such a waste of money to me. Eventually they will switch to Blu-ray, when it's more affordable to buy the players, but what can we do in the meantime? Wait for a possible re-release, or is that wishful thinking?

I know that I can download and store them for free, but when I like a series, I want to get the official (R1) releases. If you don't, fine by me, that's your choice.
