Re: I suppose
I figure it this way. If you rent a video, you go past the return date. You might as well keep it for another week, they are going to charge you for the week anyway. In the mean time I don't need my $4.50 late fee turned over to a collection agency. If Blockbuster buys Hollywood. I will find somewhere els to rent videow.

Don't believe the synergy BS
Can this possibly make it through anti-trust? Blockbuster is practically a monopoly with Hollywood its only token competition.
I am sure they will invoke NetFlix and pay-per-view to try to make the case that they are not a monopoly.

Re: Don't believe the synergy BS
Blockbuster is definitely the largest corporate player, and there probably isn't a lot of mom and pops in large portions of suburbia so it is a defacto monopoly for a lot of people, but from a U.S.-wide industry standpoint they aren't even close to being a monopoly.
There are two mom and pops as close to my house as there is a Blockbuster and a Hollywood, but I use Netflix, so I really don't care.
