Now here is my issue with people saying that Blu-ray is going to die soon--nothing that we see from Cable or streaming does 1080p.  Say what you will about 1080p vs 720p vs 1080i etc...I can see a huge difference in quality.  Furthermore, Blu-rays also provide LOSSLESS audio!!!  I am currently thinking of upgrading the old receiver so I can hear the hi-def audio formats, but let me tell you--they sound great.  I don't know why people keep forgetting about the hi-def AUDIO when discussing the benefits of Blu-ray vs streaming or other things.  Another thing is that Hi-Def video files are large, and I'm a Comcast cable/internet user.  So while my 250 GB cap should be good for normal use and you-tube and gaming...I could easily see myself hitting that cap if I needed to stream HD content all the time.  Also, no way would I invest in a streaming/download system until they get the DRM thing sorted out.

Just an rant....
