I get pissed every-time I walk into Blockbuster they may have the latest movies but their rentals are the highest in town and I always try and support the independents as a result. I can honestly say though that I do not rent $24.99 worth of Video's a month which is what the service is going to cost. You only get 2 Video's at a time you keep them as long as you want but you only get to check-out two movies. Not sure about you folks but we usually rent 3 per weekend. The hassle of having to drive the 4 miles through traffic to get them is not a winner in my book. [DesignTechnica< /a>]

Firing the latest salvo in the online DVD rental war, Blockbuster has announced to customers it will lower monthly pricing by $2.50 to $14.99 USD. The cheaper rate takes effect immediately and will last until at least the end of next year, Blockbuster said. But rival Netflix remained unfazed by the news and has no plans to drop its prices.

Amazon Might Partner With Netflix Or
Blockbuster To Rent DVDs In The US

Amazon Might Partner With Netflix Or
Blockbuster To Rent DVDs In The US 04/14/2005 10:36 PM
Last year, Netflix surprised a lot of people by announcing that they believed Amazo n was about to enter the DVD rental market. It's not often that one company's entrance into a market is announced by a potential competitor. While Amazon eventually did launch a DVD rental service, it was only in the UK. Perhaps Amazon's brief experience in that market has convinced Jeff Bezos that the company would be better off not going it alone in the US. Amazon execs have reportedly been chatting with both Netflix and Blockbuster about a partnership to offer DVD rentals in the US. Depending on the terms offered (a big if, of course), Netflix would probably be smart to jump on this opportunity. It keeps Amazon from competing directly, and gives them access not only to Amazon's marketing reach, but also could allow them to better tie into Amazon's customer database and recommendation information -- which could strengthen Netflix's own recommendation offering.

In a major step in its efforts to deliver subscription-based music and video content for portable and networked devices, the company has unveiled the next version of its Windows Media digital rights management (DRM) software. Numerous online music and movie services, entertainment companies, and consumer electronics firms have lined up to support the software, code-named Janus. The new DRM software has a "time bomb" feature, which will allow users to rent music and movies only for short periods. The idea is that "you will be paying a low monthly fee to fill your portable music player with thousands of songs, or renting a dozen movies to take with you on a Portable Media Center," says Amir Majidimehr, Microsoft corporate vice president.

As the DVD wave crested, it brought along Netflix, one of the first companies to challenge brick-and-mortar video rental stores with a unique business model: rent as many DVDs as you want for a flat monthly rate. However, while the Netflix Web site offers a robust set of features, such as the ability to assign ratings to movies and rearrange your rental queue, they're often cumbersome to use.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Movie website is now online! This special movie based on the Douglas Adams book(s) will be out in 2005. Douglas Adams of course wrote many funny books and passed on in 2001 but his memory lives on! Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Sad robot, pyro glasses and the number 42 are all sure to be relived! Can't wait to see it. Hoping it will be higher budget than the BBC TV Series.
