The future IS in the download side and Blockbuster is not even in the hunt. Netflix is slowly adding more and more media and that is the key to all future success. Netflix has also done a great job of securing an outlet in the American living room. Look at the RoKu for example they offer Netflix, Amazon on Demand, and MLB. Whats missing here? It starts with B and ends with Bust...er.... So who offers Blockbuster on-demand? TiVo and Samsung both of which also offer Netflix. The mail delivery market is on its way out, the future is the web, no shipping fees, no late fees, no waiting, just a huge market and Netflix is going to own it.

I'm frankly surprised at what people say about Blockbuster being slow. I suspended my account a few weeks ago because I received a free month with Netflix and can't believe how slow they are! With my "3 at a time" plan through Blockbuster, I regularly receive 6 dvd's in the mail per week. With Netflix it looks like 3 is all I can get. Here is my recent activity copied from Netflix's site: YOUR RECENT ACTIVITY Shipping today - He's Just Not That Into You 06/19 We received - The Men 06/17 We shipped - Revolutionary Road 06/17 We received - I've Loved You So Long 06/17 We received - Milk 06/16 We shipped - The Lives of Others That is awful! Blockbuster has never been so slow (they routinely receive and ship on the same day) and if I don't feel like waiting for the mail, I can just go and exchange the movies in a store. BTW, I'm in a major city and the distribution center isn't more than 10 or 15 miles away from my home, thus shipping time isn't the issue-- it's Netflix. For me, Blockbuster wins hands down (although I do think Netflix has a much better recommendation system on their site).
