No Disney content, per se, but this does kind of coincide with Disney's decision to go exclusively with BluRay rather than HD-DVD.

meh, interesting ish.

At one time this would have been huge. With the decline of Blockbuster over the past 5 years or so I'm not sure how much clout it has.

I would agree, among the internet savvy. There is still a large majority that doesn't have access to ondemand and does not "get" the internet, however.

Blockbuster's new answer to Netflicks is making headway though. I wouldn't count them out. And iTV kinda sucks. There's really no solid, Legal, movie download service. Until there is, Blockbuster will fill a nitch.

BB is closing 200 stores. So much for their Total Access. BB will only have Blu-ray in roughly only 25% of their totals stores. They are not removing HD DVD from any of their stores.

Looks more like cash strapped company on the take from Sony.
