I lose electrical power far more often than I lose Internet connectivity. I guess that means I should stick with books and candles?

Blu-ray all the way. Just reiterating he obvious, but UNCOMPRESSED audio an ability to let someone borrow it as well as portability and non-dependency on the Internet (if streaming on ATV for example) and 3D make it vastly superior if you're looking for quality or have a good setup.
I buy Blu-ray mostly when it makes it to the $10 or less bin, but there are some titles I'll pay more for (Star Wars boxed set, Lord of the Rings boxed set, etc.).
Most TV shows are available for free streaming but not to download for free, and the OP is on a region where those show are not streaming.
First we look to see if what we want to watch is on Netflix. Default answer is, of course, no, unless you're looking for zombie megashark apocalypse or something like that.
More and more, we just rent what we want to see through iTunes. Too many times we've bought the DVD of a previously unseen but well-known film only to find we shouldn't have bothered. $4.99 beats $15 - $20 all day long. Only if its something we'd like to carry along on the iPad or iPhone for a long plane trip do we consider buying now.

You seem to be forgetting that Netflix still rents blu-rays by mail, and alot more new titles are available in pristine quality that way. If you rent 2 HD titles from iTunes in a month, you've paid for the netflix by mail service, which you can watch as quickly as you can send them back.
I buy the blu ray and they usually have the digital copy for free. I like buying physical copy because it cost the same and I can always just resell it later for 1/4-1/2 what I paid for it which I can not do with a digital copy. I also spent a ton of money on digital copies of video games on Xbox the system got fried 2x and when I tried to put the game I purchased at launch they were no longer available to redownload.
