i was in Bend, Oregon last weekend at the last Blockbuster, and it was really appealing.

- blu ray rentals were 99¢ / wk

- a vast trove of content

- no lock-in or monthly fees

sure, you actually have to make it to the store... but, 2007 never looked better.

now, Netflix was distributing by mail, and i think the promise was for them to stream all their content into homes. but, then it got messy.

but yeah, for 99¢ / movie, I'm happy to pay. i'll even occasionally pay to rent through AppleTV.
