I would say my Blu/DVD are about equal this year - I bought about 125 Blu Ray discs but also a lot of DVDs during the $3.99 sales going on in the past few months (some days buying 15 during these sales).
I've cut back on HDDVD, buying only exclusive titles on that (lately, catalog titles have been a bit disappointing on it (for full price, at least) and format neutral releases I've been getting on Blu ray).
As far as full priced/new releases go, it would definitely be Blu Ray.

I'm pretty sure I spent a lot more money on HD/BD, but in terms of sheer quantity (which is what this thread is asking, not what did you "spend" more on), I'd say I still bought more standard DVDs, only b/c of the 20% off sales, I picked up a ton of old box sets, & cheaper older titles.

I just switched the blu so my collection is rather small. I definitely bought more dvds over the year than I did bd. Since I switched to blu, i haven't purchased a standard dvd yet so I'm doing alright.

Definitely bought more DVD's this year.
I completely slowed down my Blu-Ray/HD-DVD purchases based on cost.

For me I'm still pretty much on SD-DVD. I have the capability to play HD/BR (and have the freebies) but I haven't bought any yet. Most of what I've been buying this year are things not on HD/BR.

Bought way more HD and BR this year.
I'm really only buying TV shows on DVD at this point. The only DVD "movie" I've bought recently was Kubrick: Life in Pictures, which wasn't even anamorphic widescreen like advertised, so that pretty much sealed the deal for me...no more standard DVD!
