so you post this on the thread that has already been started about the whole blockbuster thing, then start another thread about it?

BIG NEWS deserves its own thread...

I do not get it. What are they getting that is worth anything much less 320 million. 5 years from now a video rental store from the 90's will be almost as obsolete as a video arcade from the 80's. Heck it almost is now.

Tom Cullen, executive vice president of sales, marketing and programming for Dish Network, in a statement Said:
"Blockbuster will complement our existing video offerings while presenting cross-marketing and service extension opportunities for Dish Network,".

What does that mean?

WOW charlie bought a Bankrupt Video Store.
And paid 320 million for it. Guess how he's going to pay that off? PPV

I bet the rentals are cheeper in the store then they are ordering them from DISH Network.
