This acquisition has more to do with Blockbuster by mail, the kiosks, and on demand. I'm thinking that Dish wanted a jump start on a program similar to Netflix's crazy popular Watch Instantly.
I hope the first step is firing the guy that said "Blockbuster won't do unlimited streaming, because we're all about new releases." -followed by 4 copies of New releases in the stores, usually a few weeks after the street date. Dish may or may not be interested in keeping stores open. You could make a case that they'll want a physical location to show their products and for face to face customer service, but that would be extremely optimistic thinking. |

That's correct about Indy. Oops, gave away where I am. LOL Seriously, it is correct and I had one (the one I used to work at) 2 minutes from my house. It's closing along w/another store that just found out last week, or the week before, so now the closest one to me is a half hour away. It makes for having the online account almost worthless. Not to mention most of the top films on my list are on some sort of wait or "unavailable" even tho it came out weeks ago.

I don't. I'm glad they don't make me pay for something I won't use.

That's cool, but those of us who live in the 21st century want our high definition movies. I'm kidding, I get your point of view. But regardless, if you have a blu-ray player then Blockbuster Online and Netflix are the same price.

I prefer Netflix to Blockbuster for it's general efficiency, but BB does have more hard-to-find movies and a more user-friendly website (discs for sale, what's releasing, etc) and the new function that allows you to prioritize your queue (wait longer for hot rental or just have the next easily available sent). The problem I have with BB is that they are MUCH slower, and too often the discs show up cracked or seemingly cleaned with a Brillo pad. Also, Netflix might be cheaper now -- but wait to see how they react to all the pressure being put on them by studios for greater profits. I see them upping their price a few bucks in the near future.

Been with netflix for about 6 years I think and the only time I've ever had an issue was a copy of Practical Magic that wouldn't play because it said it was a double sided disk and I needed to turn it over to play the movie. Only it wasn't a double sided disk. Not something that I can blame netflix for so in essence, never had a problem with them in all that time. |
