Lack of original language (with subtitles) and lack of correct aspect ratio are deal breakers for me. Also, I miss the commentaries and docus, at least on those titles I end up really loving. (A great many movies don't intrigue me enough to care, it's true.)

I currently stream about two movies a week (mostly recent titles) through iTunes and onto my wall via AppleTV. (I don't have a TV set.) This is fine for a fairly wide swath of movies, but I am still left hungry for deep library titles, foreign films, independents and so on. But, things look to be improving steadily. In any case, I scarcely buy more than ten DVDs a year anymore, if that. (Edited to add - and those I do buy are invariably films that predate 1985 or so.)
