Blockbuster is completely irrelevant and will be out of business within a couple of years-max! Noone rents from them and guess what? They have a blue ray agenda! Netflix is putting them out of business, and I have been renting HD DVDs for months!! I rarely BUY movies, but when I do..they are usually warner bros or Univeral movies anyway! Disney is the only downside for owning HDDVD. For those movies that my children watch, I just buy the regular dvd and let my toshiba HD player upconvert to 1080I!! Who cares about Sony movies anyway? They are the lowest on the totem pole in the way of content!
Blockbuster has been in the game for many years longer 1985, vs 1998 13 years later Netflix. For what Blockbuster charges per month $5.00 and the ability to exchange viewed movies for an additional movie in store. Now thats something Netflix will NEVER be able to do because they do not have a STORE.. Turn around time for getting Netflix time is horrible.. And their online streaming.. buffering isn't nearly the quality that you get with an actual DVD 640x480 nor does it come with all the extra footage that a DVD comes with. SO a couple of year for Blockbuster to go down the tubs. Yeah right..
