I've got a lot of movies there that I don't have on Blu yet.
They also mention On Demand, I am assuming they mean with your cable/satellite provider. That's even more useless. I've had months where I've seen the two movies on it I want to see and there's nothing new for weeks on end I want to watch. It's a random jumble of half garbage, and half new releases I saw a month before in movie theaters.
Finally, one thing for parents that are divorced to consider... if I download say Lion King, my son can't bring it to his mothers to watch it there. I've got a few DVDs that make the trip back and forth every week between the two houses. I can't do that with a TV show that I downloaded. It's much better for parents to own a hard copy. Easier to keep track of them.

I hate streaming too, but it seems that EVERYONE is doing it. I know so many people who Torrent movies to their laptops then just hook the laptop up to their TV to watch. I cant see me ever doing that.
