Or, perhaps the future is one where DVD rentals are simply inconsequential. The latest... Read More

Warner Bros. Forces 56-Day Holdback Window For Netflix

Monday, January 16, 2012 - by Ray Willington in News
Ouch. We knew the movie studios didn't like Netflix very much, but this is just brutal. In the viewpoint of the movie studios, they want people to go out and buy new DVD and Blu-ray releases. A rental provides only a fraction of the profit that an outright purchase would, but with $1 Redbox rentals and unlimited Netflix... Read More
