Man, you have to give it to Blockbuster video for going all out to save their business. Faced with digital distribution and the Internet, they've been courting me strong via their online rental service-- now, every time I finish a movie at home, I take it back to the store instead of dropping it in the mail, and I get a free rental out of it. And now, faced with Netflix competition, they're doing the same thing for Netflixers. These people aren't even Blockbuster customers, and BB is giving them free rentals. Sure, it's a little desperate, but it's clear they're pulling out all the stops to make sure they stay on top.
