Redbox and even Netflix by mail will eventually fall to digital delivery.
My own experience with Blockbuster: They eliminated their ‘late fees’, but added in a ‘restocking fee’ or some such. We had two movies out past the due date. One of the movies went back fine, but the other movie was considered ‘stolen’ by Blockbuster— they bought a new copy and charged me $39 for it. When I pointed out that both movies had been returned but we’d only been charged for the one, the manager refused to refund the money and wouldn’t give me the copy of the movie that was ‘replaced’. I sent a nasty letter to corporate (to no avail) and never set foot in their store again.
I hope not. I live in the sticks without good highspeed internet and I do not want satellite. Even if I did have good access to digital delivery, they look inferior do to compression artifacts.
I prefer watching directly from DVD or BD disc.
