It's a depreciating asset. Being "future ready" also means you pay exuberant premiums for everything >_> Smarter to invest your money in something that actually increases its value (hard to do with the current US interest rate).
i know whot you mean but my 8800gts is def still worth the price i payed for it 10 month's ago!!
wtf means?>> depreciating 
He means it'll be cheaper to buy in the future than to buy now. Due to both lowering prices, and time value of money (same amount of money is worth less in the future than in the present).

So pretty much he's saying that it'll be more worth it to buy it later on when blu-ray disks are actually affordable, than to buy it now and let it sit there and depreciate.

And I agree with him.

EDIT: Heh, seems like you got the post in before I did.

I disagree.

The same thing can be said about Graphics cards. Buy it when it comes out for $500, or wait 6 months for it to be $300.

HOWEVER, if you buy it for $500, you also get those 6 months you could have waited to actually use it.

Don't forget the Blu-ray burner is also a player. $200 for 1080p + Uncompressed audio is not a lot of money.

@Zinga- I don't know any PC current part that increases in value.
