Yeah I had netflix digital until they added the two seperate pricings for physical and digital.  I hated the digital service because of how random it is.  They do have The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad though which is good :)

Yeah ill let you know about the prices on PSN when I get the chance. 

That's odd Canada and the U.S. has different pricings though.  

And yeah i do physical copies on netflix for $7.99 as well.  Or Bluray is $8.99.  I actually buy all of my movies in bluray btw I'd like to ask peoples opinions on it.  Do you all notice a difference in quality very much between the two?  Like I said i just buy them because they are suppose to be better but i really dont notice it haha

We don't get Netflix physical here. Click on my comparison picks a few posts back to see the difference. That's between streaming 5mbps and blu-ray 28 mbps (not the best there is, was only a trailer).

However I use a 1080p projector and 92" screen, the difference is very clear. If you watch on a 40" or less screen, and don't have a high quality surround setup you probably won't notice the difference much. I hear the difference between lossy DD 5.1 and Dolby TrueHD too, but that's with $10K sunk into sound for a home theater setup.

Read the reviews on blu-ray.com to see if the image quality is worth it. Not all blu-rays are great, and sometimes the movie itself isn't that sharp to begin with. For example LOTR was originally made in 2K with a lot of CGI and model work, a 10mbps version would probably not look much different from the blu-ray. (I'm one of those people who watches the full 11 hour commentary on the extended cut, awesome boxset for me)

Absolute best picture quality is Baraka, mastered in 8K scanned from 65mm negative. The difference between that and LOTR is amazing.
The worst picture quality blu-ray I have is 28 days/weeks later, faithful transfer but the film was shot on dv.
