    what about downloading?

    I've been downloading on netflix lately, luv it. I've got some old tv series in my queue that I can watch this way. The 'first run' dvds aren't downloadable with their 'Watch It Now' feature, but they will be in the not to distant future.

    When dvds go the way of cds what will Blockbuster do with all their brick and morter stores?

    I'm sticking to netflix.
