"60-day exclusive... and the new title will not be available for retail sale in any format during this period. After the first 60-days, Blockbuster retains exclusive physical rental rights for three years." ok, so if there is no way to buy the disc for 60 days, then they may be able to keep THAT exclusivity, but once its available for sale, how, exactly can netflix etc be prevented from renting the dvd??? oh, they cant
You know, I was wondering the exact same thing. Can they really stop Netflix from buying/renting it after the 60-day embargo? Unless they have an agreement with the studio to rent (which maybe they do), I don't see how they can...
