I would rather just buy the DVD of a movie I really liked, or wait to watch it in HD on HBO-HD or Cinemax-HD. Those three options give me the best picture and sound quality compared to anything downloaded.

Does Blockbuster offer HD quality movies? If so, what resolution?
Can the downloaded movies be loaded onto my iPod or iPhone?

Yeesh. Blockbuster is always one step behind the competition. Not only that, but their marketing plan resembles someone thrashing wildly in the middle of the ocean, without a life preserver.
So their competitive selling point is not needing a subscription -- fine. But since those prices are the same as what they charge in their brick & mortar stores, are they competing with their own business, or trying to find a way to eventually push out their physical space + hired help?

Little late... I just signed up for Netflix and I consider myself pretty late to the party.

I will never go back to Blockbuster after having rented from them for a couple of years at a local store that charged ridiculous prices for DVD rentals and even worse late fees. Once a company has screwed over a customer over and over, they would have to go to great lengths to earn that customer back. In my case, I cannot imagine ever doing business with Blockbuster again, along with the rumors (or truths) about censorship from Blockbuster.

I agree 100%. I've since gone to Netflex and they are great. No complaints.
