yeah, but the real HD die hards will never be happy with this. there is no master quality audio with streaming, and im sure that technically the picture quality will be nowhere near blu-ray. but either way its very promising.
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.
