I agree with LH. When I still had my HD-DVD A35 (Pre Jan 4th, 2008), I rented 3 movies on HD-DVD from Netflix. One was unplayable. After I got a PS3 I have rented at least 15-20 Blu Ray discs and never once had there been any problems with any of them (Except Blood Diamond was a crappy movie).

Deano86...

I get Blu-Ray discs from Netflix all the time and I haven't found one with a scratch on it yet... After joining Netflix I began to appreciate this one feature of Blu-Ray more than any other perceived advantage they brought to the table.

In short, you movies probably won't ever require the use of repair machines to play.

Well I just bought one of those fancy cleaning machines because I like to play frizbee with my discs.

It says right on the box do not use this with blu-ray. What I understand the coating works well but if you strach it then its over charlie.

Coating I bet is the one thing the movie industry does not like blu-ray. less need to buy replacement discs.

Notice how that TV has a serious 'banding' issue?

not that it matters anymore but ....

I've said on here before that I have rented HDs from Netflix since they made them available and have never had a playback problem. I'm using the xbox add-on, perhaps it handles the scratches better.
