Good price point (sub $100), good movie selection (first-run, not like crappy Netflix on-demand selection), good distribution (Blockbuster's immense B&M chain), and good timing (ubiquitous broadband in the US)...assuming Blockbuster doesn't go under, I like the chances for this thing.
The only way to beat this would be to integrate it into a box that people are already getting anyways (like a 360 or a telcom STB like the AT&T uVerse) to eliminate the up-front cost.
