There is a simple plug and play element with Blu-Ray that I love...knowing that it won't have to buffer and there is very little compression compared to online streaming.
I know it is an isolated problem and will probably be rectified soon, but there is a comfort in knowing that my Blu-Ray discs will work without any issues, and it is situations like this- when your cable goes out, ISP throttling/future ISP problems (tier level pricing), hard drive/computer failure, that I believe is ONE of many reasons why digital downloads/streaming is an OPTION but not a replacement of the Blu-Ray format.

There is a line problem in my area and it affects Netflix, Xbox Live, etc.
