Samsung and Blockbuster Reach a Deal

Samsung has reached a deal for digital streaming with blockbuster. Should be ready to go by the Fall. My 3600 should be good to go with whatever service I decide to go with. Too bad Panasonic is stuck on Amazon

Hopefully they offer better service, then I might come back. Id still like to get a Roku box.

4 reasons why this deal will never go through:

4 Reasons Why Netflix Will Say No (AMZN, NFLX)

I see #4 as reason enough.

This isn't interesting at all IMO, since BB OnDemand is just a PPV service. If it means these connected devices will then never be able to use Amazon's or Netflix's services then I'd say it's bad news rather than good.

Provide options rather than pigeonhole me and you'll have my money as a CE manufacturer when it comes time to buy your stuff.

They are not dropping Netflix. It is an additional option that will be available to its users. All about choice.
