Who is going to stream a fully uncompressed BluRay movie? Honestly, the compression and streaming formats we have today are good enough for any 1080p TV.

If people are going to be videophiles about quality, then they will buy the actual discs but most people don't actually care that much about quality as they are obviously still impressed by the highly compressed 720p TV we get for "HD" cable and satellite, etc.

Most people just don't know better and can't tell the difference. Most people who went to Blockbuster still rented regular DVDs.
