Netflix doesn't stream any content in 1080P, whereas a Blu-Ray disc provides that format.

The picture and sound quality is far superior to anything Netflix streams.

If they elect to discontinue offering Blu-Ray discs they will lose me as a customer.

Mass streaming in 1080P isn't going to happen for a long time.

While Blu-Ray is the best physical media format for video, it is too late to the game. I expect DVDs, including Blu-Ray, to go the way of the 8-track within 5-7 years: only the avid collectors will have them and nothing new will be released on that format. Searching for a DVD will be akin to a current search for a VHS tape.

Red-box will follow Blockbuster's path into history if they don't jump into some non-physical media delivery method.

This isn't an issue for those, like me, with 10/25 mbps fiber connections to their homes. However, I'm aiming to move to a much more rural home within the next two years. I'll probably be one of those searching eBay for DVD movies then.

fully agree.

I am an HD snob. I can’t hardly watch the streaming in 480, when I can get a Blu-Ray that is 1080p.

I have Comcast cable internet, which clocks at 18Mbs, and I still only get a few streaming in what they call HD. Even that is still jumpy.

I’ll rent 1080 disks from someone until I can stream at 1080.

Worth saying again.
