(Mis)Uses of Technology

Movies on Demand (Again)

from the haven't-we-heard-this-one-before dept

Blockbuster is planning a video-on-demand system. I definitely think this makes sense for them. I still wonder, though, how successful it will be. Most past attempts at video-on-demand haven't worked too well, though it's not clear why. I'd definitely be willing to test it out. It would be cool if they had a better selection that the local Blockbuster, too. I also wonder how this will effect their revenue, since I believe they make a significant portion from late-fee returns.
