That's great, but you're still depending on a blu ray player to make it happen. Streaming can be taken everywhere without doing questionable things like ripping movies and the like. Streaming can be done from nearly any device these days and it is just too easy. Being tied down to a blu ray player is kinda archaic these days.

I couldn't do so at my mother's place even if I wanted to, as the bandwith there is too low. Even youtube non-HD Vids are problematic at times. So Blu-Rays are the natural choice there, at least until the landlines get upgraded.

Also, I love to watch the boni on the Discs, like outtakes, making-of, commentary tracks and the like. You don't get these on streaming sites.

Not that I dislike straming, as that's not true. I got Netflix the day it got released in Luxembourg and have over 100 movies and series on my playlist. I'd prefer them as a physical version, but that would be way above my budget. Besides, I wouldn't get to see series like Dardevil without Netflix
