Blockbuster was the most stubborn company out there that refused to changed. CEO's need to realized it doesn't matter how much money you make or how much your stock is worth, you always have to be prepared for the next paradigm shift.

For Blockbuster, they are making a lot of changes (Good ones so far) By cutting down stores and feeling comfortable at a right amount. They are going to change their Blockbuster stores in something new (totally new) I seen some plans and I'm not sure they will workWe might see bigger changes in the streaming business next year but this year might be a surprise lol. They have been beta testing, seeing if people really do watch it by release new movies that are not out on dvd or bluray. When streaming movies because the biggest thing, Youtube will get all the money

You contradict yourself. If blockbuster is making changes "good ones so far" and you seen some plans and not sure they will work. How can they be good ones? Apperently cutting down stores to a comfortable level and changing them isn't such a good idea if you don't think they are going to work.

These are plans that are going to change Blockbuster big time, they are not looking for small upgrades like in the past they have done. lol the reason why i not sure they are good is because its a gamble lol. Will this work or not lol. Remember when Blockbuster changed their BSI sections and moved things around, that it actually make the store look a whole lot better and updated. ( I consider the store changing bsi section a small upgrade)

I hook up TVs from 5 of the major companies, and Blockbuster is only available on Samsung products, where as Netflix, Vudu, and Cinema Now services are avaliable on pretty much all the major TV companies products.

It's a fact that more and more people are getting into streaming movies, and if Blockbuster doesn't get its streaming service available on more products, it's going to be left even further behind. It'll be just like almost every other venture Blockbuster has gone into in the past ten years (Blockbuster online, BB on demand, the vending machines) where they jump in several years too late when other companies laid the ground work and have an established customer base, and wonder why they aren't dominating the market.
If you get a TV that streams make sure modem/repeater is wps capable the wireless antenna in the TV/udp drop rate is horrible. Fuxk streaming to a TV @ 3.2 megs a secound without a Roku box or wps repeater/router.

There is a new type.of wifi coming out I believe AE5.0GHZ SHOULD hit the nail on the head for the above problem.

Has anything worked for BBI? And changing things around in the store will just piss off customers again.....just when they get used to the layout BBI has to go and change it all the time. That is one of the reasons they lost customers.....no to mention many others
