I have purchased and ripped over 400 BDs... so while your experience is interesting it does not match my own. I have an i3 based HTPC with a GT430 running OE that plays all of these titles fine, it's just the FTV that has trouble... clearly for the torrent crowd this does not appear to be a concern, but some of us buy this stuff and don't want to transcode it just so it will play on one box.
You don't have to be a torrenter to value your disk space. I actually rip most my BD down to 720p x264 and shoot for 4-8 GB. I've only kept full 1080p for maybe 10% of my collection.
I've got a 39" TV and a 27" TV, and no complaints (and no issues playing them on the FTV).
