The only thing I really miss is the deleted scenes and commentaries. Even then I only watched a few of the better ones.

This. To me, streaming has replaced Blockbuster browsing. I have 4 IKEA towers crammed with DVD's and some spilling out all over (I need a 5th) because I love movies and love watching them and liked to have a bunch at my disposal for whatever mood struck me.
Now, I pop over to Netflix, and cruise around until I see something that looks interesting and watch it. It very much reminds me of the times I'd wander up and down the Blockbuster aisles until something caught my eye.
