How are you being negatively impacted by the advent of Blu-ray, compared to if it hadn't come around at all?
New movies will continue to be released on DVD for a long while to come, so you don't have to join the upgrade bandwagon in order to enjoy new releases. And since Blu-ray players are backwards compatible with existing DVDs, even if you do upgrade you still don't have to get rid of your existing collection or even buy every new release in Blu-ray if you don't want to.
So where's the downside?

It's this simple...DVD is only at most a full 7-8 year old technology. It's too new to be considered old technology. Like Limacharleywhiskey said; look at the music industry and CD's. CD's are still a high demand format; even with downloading technology, and CD's have been out for almost 20 years. It's rediculous to have tech move so fast when it doesn't need too.
