re: netflix vs blockbuster

If I were CEO of blockbuster, I'd close every store and put several blockbuster kiosks around town (they already have kiosks like redbox). Invest all money into making a better instant streaming experience than netflix. Also, make mobile apps for your kiosk that allow people to see what movies are available at each kiosk and have the option to reserve a movie (for an hour or something). Also keep DVDs by mail. IMO this would be enough for me to switch. You get the best of both worlds. Instant, plus a selection of new movies available at kiosks if you don't want to wait for them to come in the mail.

If I were CEO of Netflix, I would buy Redbox and implement the ideas above. I mean shite, Netflix colors are already red.
