@Blahblah – “Japanese companies are notorious for hedging, they have an agreement with Netflix also.”

Samsung is a Korean company.

I’ve noticed a few Blockbusters in my area have closed down recently. I had no idea about the Samsung deal and just assumed the company were in dire financial straights..which perhaps they are. Or they are focusing their efforts, and money, on other ventures!

Japanese companies are notorious for hedging, they have an agreement with Netflix also.

Its somewhat unfortunate that nobody really cares about this news.

Ever looked into the LG 390? We have one hooked up to wireless (and just an “ok” wireless signal) and it is great!

The sole reason I bought a Samsung Blu-Ray player was b/c it came with Netflix. Turns out, the wireless adapter wasn’t yet available, so I returned the player. I heartily believe that services are as important as the product itself. This is a good move.

A very shrewd partnership on the part of Blockbuster. This may be exactly what they need to resurrect their name and market share, BUT if it fails to gain the penetration they’re projecting I would venture to say Blockbuster may be over and done.

So I’m one of the .001% who do firmware updates. And since I currently get Netflix streaming movies on my Samsung Blu-ray player, I’m interested in the future of that relationship. The article fails to mention whether the Blockbuster deal is exclusive, and whether I need to worry about some future firmware update terminating my Netflix connection. What’s up with that?

HDTV’s are very inexpensive online nowadays :-)

“will also be able to run the service with just a firmware update soon.”

I’d love to know what percent of consumers actually do firmware updates….something tells me its less than 0.001%, albeit growing slowly with the advent of more electronics (like mentioned in the blog) that rely on internet connections. Maybe next year it’ll grow to 0.01%

I haven’t seen advertising for blockbuster online in a long time (tv/internet/print ads included). But the fact that I can watch netflix via my xbox or laptop, even my gf has a Roku box. How is blockbuster going to compete, or is this a death shudder?
