My guess, just like DVD, flat screens, LCD, Plasma Recordable DVD's and every other piece of new technology, it'll take a while before its really worth it. HD has been around for a while now, but its only just now that the standard is being adopted... Personally, i'm gonna go with HD for now, and wait and see what happens with 3D. If you've had HD for a while now, and like new toys, then its worth trying out for you.
