Comcast can't touch my Oppo DVD player in terms of either.
If Comcast (or Netflix) can provide me with on demand films in HD-quality picture and sound, then I'm all for it, provided they offer more than the number of films and shows you quoted.

I agree. The Oppo is a damn fine DVD player.
My big gripe for On Demand. The movies they show in HD are a majority of the time cropped to 1.78:1. I WANT the OAR, dammit!!! Show a 2.35:1 film in the correct aspect ratio and not 1.78:1!! Yeesh. They ought to follow in the footsteps of TCM and show all their films in OAR.
I also prefer owning a physical copy of a film. More tangible to me compared to a downloaded one if they ever offered it. It's also about convenience too I figure. I enjoy a library of films dammit!!!
