Yeah, looks like 3 major studios have the 28 day wait on Netflix now. StormCrow Send a noteboard - 03/07/2010 04:22:52 AM
To where Blockbuster gets the movie on release day and Netflix has to wait 30 days before they can ship it out. Its one of the few ways Blockbuster is staying in business.


Doesn't make me any happier about waiting for new releases, but Netflix has signed off on all of them to keep growing its online library for streaming older movies.

The studios are trying to sell more movies. Well, I'm not going to buy it because netflix is delayed, when they don't have the same deal at other places.

I'm wondering how far the trend will go and which studios will push for it next.

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 945 Views

That is why they're doing it. Blockbuster had to pay extra to get it on the date of release. StormCrow - 02/07/2010 10:57:09 PM 1015 Views
The company that released Book of Eli made a deal with Blockbuster MightyYT - 02/07/2010 11:10:42 PM 1100 Views

It sounds like a good idea (from the studio's side) Deadsy - 04/07/2010 01:27:17 AM 974 Views
I'm kind of up in the air about it. StormCrow - 05/07/2010 01:56:46 PM 947 Views
blockbuster is soo much better, you can trade the movies into the store when you are done *NM* Aisha - 02/07/2010 11:15:37 PM 490 Views
Do they stream older movies online? How fast do the movies come? Thanks! *NM* StormCrow - 03/07/2010 04:27:50 AM 456 Views
I'm old fashioned, but I like BlockBuster RugbyPlayingAshaman - 08/07/2010 02:19:11 PM 1265 Views
I guess I'll just stick with RedBox. j-whitt987 - 03/07/2010 03:48:10 AM 873 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 844 Views
Blockbuster is basically dead Brian - 04/07/2010 06:59:15 AM 1120 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 453 Views
