When asked if he was worried about Blockbusters store and online model he said (paraphrased of course) If you like the experience of going to Blockbuster then maybe you should sign up for the Blockbuster deal. If you prefer getting movies delivered to you, we are your best bet. Subtle way of saying, no one likes going to the actual store. That's why we started Netflix to begin with.

I just looked and there are still 2000 Hollywood Videos out there - maybe them? Or maybe a general retailer who also sells DVD's or a grocery store chain with a side rental business? Thoughts?
