Admittedly, I'm not aware of the specific technical details, but I am fairly certain netflix does not stream in 1080p, and probably has differences in frame rates etc.
In addition, you also need to look at the audio formats, such as 5.1 and 7.1 Even if/when these are added, they are likely to use compression algorithms the will have subtle effects on quality.
Simply put, Blu-ray provides better image and audio quality than netflix streaming. Period.
It's true that probably 99.9% of the population won't notice the difference. Once my new theatre is in place, I will. I'll stick to the discs.
The main reason that this is the case is because the major companies don't want to release their HD content for streaming because it is so unsecure.
Now that the new sandy bridge CPUs are coming out and we are making dramatic leaps in technology, you will very likely see this changing in the coming years, to HD stuff being very widely available for instant streaming.

Doesn't bandwidth play some type of role? I mean 10gb in a two hour period, to millions of users doesn't sound feasable.

I certainly wouldn't be able to accomplish that with a 3mbs downstream.

how? It supports very good sound quality, something streaming cannot. While yes, many players cannot take advantage of this, it's nice when they can to have some truly astonishingly nice sound.

I dont mind DVD quality, its the disc I dont like - bluerays included. I very much prefer magnetic storage like hard drives over discs. The industry doesnt really support this method of consumption though - their loss.
