Best case scenario of streaming and Blu-ray..
Streaming: near HD quality to Blu-ray, stereo audio, cheaper.
Blu-ray: full 1080p HD, uncompressed surround sound, features and extras, personal ownership, collectability, more expensive.
Conclusion: You get what you pay for while both options are good. I just depends on what you are viewing and your perception of it. And some have predicted that Blu-ray will become mainstream. I personally do NOT think so, but I do see it as a profitable quality offering to HD users. You don't have to be mainstream to be sucessful. HD had yet to be mainstream, but it's still around while growing and improving. Blu-ray is not for everyone, but to deny its fine offerings of video, audio, and extras are reserved for the haters. Like some PS3 fanboys who are jealous of Wii and 360 sales and some of its software offerings, the PS3/SONY haters KNOW that they are denying themselves what they can only get from Blu-ray so they make excuses. Oh, and like most everyone else here, this thread is fail because of the outdated material and opinion of the article. Peace.
Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.
