If your connection says it allows for 1080p through the service, it will not need to be upscaled.  Meaning it is a native 1080p source.

Ok but compared to a bluray it will be heavily compressed and lower quality. So whatever, if if floats your boat enjoy it. For me it's a terrible option to first: buy a propritary 60 gig HDD for $100, then pay $50 per year for XBL then another $6 per movie when netfix ships me higher quality blurays anyway.

Why would you need to purchase a hard drive?  This is streaming.

Since we are talking about movies, what does being a Gold member matter?  I will go ahead and answer, it doesn't.

I also have a Netflix subscription and get blu rays.  What does that have to do with anything?  We pay money for Netflix too BTW.
