Except for someone like me, blu-ray (although still compressed) doesn't look like the shit you can download. The level of compression is awful for most of the digital distribution I've tried, but then I'd have a 35mm projector if my wife would let me. As for a Steam like client? There's a Netflix plugin? You also never actually said why it's horrible to use?
