However I am sure this doesn't give Blockbuster an advantage because I doubt there is a lot of loyalty to the existing MovieLink customer base (kind of expensive and not the greatest video quality)<br><br>I admit, it is nice to be able to download and watch movies with MovieLink.  Especially since you can watch the movies via your XBOX 360.  The 30 day rental period is nice as well.  I only hope that Blockbuster makes the video quality better as well as make it more competitive to rent.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[phrank]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 10th 2007 2:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Blockbuster buys Movielink]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/blockbuster-buys-movielink/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/blockbuster-buys-movielink/</guid><description><![CDATA[bet there's a team of people working at Blockbuster working out how to apply late fees to downloaded content.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eliot S]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 12th 2007 11:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Blockbuster buys Movielink]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/blockbuster-buys-movielink/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/blockbuster-buys-movielink/</guid><description><![CDATA[They certainly did NOT buy it to "compliment" their online offerings.
