I have broadband cable, and my experience with internet movie watching, whether its Amazon or Netflix or PS3, is spotty at best. Amazon especially has crappy compression, and while might be OK for little character driven indie flicks and documentaries, I want to see my special effects blockbusters and action movies in the highest quality possible, with deep blacks, theater sound and crystal clear picture. BluRay will give me that, and Netflix is not even close to be able deliver that to me instantly. The bandwidth is not there.

I have to wait 4 minutes just to watch a stupid YouTube video of some dude getting kicked in the nuts. How am I supposed to expect a Blu Ray movie, with a perfect digital transfer to download, when I want it?
