Sure you are!
BTW, HD movies fit on a DVD, using the DivX 6 codec. But of course the film industries etc. don't wish to pay royalties to the company behind DivX. Instead, they invest billions in something we have to pay astronomous amounts of money for. While most consumers didn't even ask for products like that. Additionally, I am now still "ignoring" the fact that a lot of people never heard of HD/Blue-ray/HD-DVD at all.
And for data, it is much more handy to use an external HDD, instead of burning a completely new disk every time the content changes (e.g. back-ups).
So I can say I do not feel the need for Blue-ray or HD-DVD at all at the moment of writing.
