That is why they're doing it. Blockbuster had to pay extra to get it on the date of release. StormCrow Send a noteboard - 02/07/2010 10:57:09 PM
Off the top of my head, this may have more to do with the studios' greed than with Netflix. The demand from people who want to buy instead of rent is probably highest the first month after release, so the studios limit the number of DVDs they sell to rental outfits.

I would have paid extra too, if I was running Netflix, to stay on equal footing with Blockbuster and Cable/Sattelite on demand.

We do redbox too, but we're way out in the boonies so returning them can be a pain. StormCrow - 02/07/2010 10:58:28 PM 1072 Views

Yeah, looks like 3 major studios have the 28 day wait on Netflix now. StormCrow - 03/07/2010 04:22:52 AM 1076 Views
It sounds like a good idea (from the studio's side) Deadsy - 04/07/2010 01:27:17 AM 1100 Views
I'm kind of up in the air about it. StormCrow - 05/07/2010 01:56:46 PM 1059 Views

I'm old fashioned, but I like BlockBuster RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/07/2010 02:19:11 PM 1394 Views
I guess I'll just stick with RedBox. j-whitt987 - 03/07/2010 03:48:10 AM 989 Views
I might try Blockbuster's mailing service. Going to look into what they can stream, etc. StormCrow - 03/07/2010 04:26:59 AM 967 Views
Blockbuster is basically dead Brian - 04/07/2010 06:59:15 AM 1258 Views
Delistings definitely not a good sign. Knew they were in trouble, but that's pretty bleak. *NM* StormCrow - 05/07/2010 02:02:14 PM 511 Views
