720p or 1080p is a red herring. It's picture quality that matters, and PQ is all about bitrate. When I watch a blu-ray disc, I see it has a bitrate of over 30 MegaBits per second, more when there's a lot of action on the screen.
Even OTA I get an average of 16-18 Megabits/s, and that's for 720p and 1080i.
How is Netflix going to deliver that when so few people have broadband that can deliver those speeds?
Netflix Streaming Update on 1080p HD, Closed Captions and 5.1 Audio
CNet reported earlier that Netflix was going to roll out 1080p streaming this year, but Netflix later corrected the report stating that "1080p watch instantly is not on the books for this year." Netflix's Steve Swasey did confirm that closed captions and 5.1 sound will be available later this ye...
I have already been waiting 28 (or more) days for Netflix to ship New Releases. So, from now on will that be 56+ day waits?
I don't want to hear about streaming. The quality just doesn't compare to BluRay when it comes to action. It's fine for things like Helvetica, but not much more.

I never have any problems with buffering on either platform. Both are hardwired ethernet, which I think can make a big difference, depending on how crowded your spectrum is.
The PS3 is a great blu-ray player. "The Standard", according to Robert Heron of HD Nation. Pair it with PS3 Media Center on your computer (Mac, Linux, or Windoze) and it really does it all.
Have a Netflix-Ready Device? What do You Like or Dislike About It?
Jeffrey writes, "I have been shopping around for a new Blu-ray player that will stream NETFLIX (and other content as well), and I have read a bunch of reviews on ALL of them. Do you have any recommendations as to what you think is the best one. It seems a lot of people have had problems with the...
