Better discounts: It's not unusual to see older releases selling for under $10 these days, major new releases for under $20.

Better selection: PIxar! Criterion Collection!

>>>Simultaneous B-D and DVD release<<<<

More extras (although to date, the only B-D that I've seen which really took advantage of BD-Live was Kung Fu Panda)

HDMI mostly works these days. A single cable to replace many, and it can be had cheaply too.

Much-cheaper B-D players, lower price for PS/3

Fewer "problem" titles that won't play or force me to upgrade the firmware. In fact, Sony's recent updates to the PS/3 seem to be more concerned with support for Sony's store and photo services than Blu-Ray patches.

Now playable on popularly-priced PC notebooks (unfortunately not Mac)

What's not to like these days? I still like digital delivery via Apple TV, but physical media like Blu-Ray has fewer restrictions.
