I understand that you can download "HD" movies from iTunes and from other sources. But these files are compressed quite a bit more than you would see on a Blu Ray disc. According to Apple's site, a typical size for an HD movie download from iTunes is 3-4.5gb. That's a lot better than the 1GB "HD" movies that my coworker brags about downloading off of torrents, but that's still an awful lot more compression than a Blu Ray disc. (The average size of a BluRay stripped of extras is about 20GB.)
