I feel Blockbuster needs to take on even more debt to survive...which is possible, yet extremely high stakes]]>Aug 18th 2009 9:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/Aug 18th 2009 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/Aug 18th 2009 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/Aug 18th 2009 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/Aug 18th 2009 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/Aug 18th 2009 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/Aug 18th 2009 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/WIFI->SHOLES->HDTV......

I talked with one of the reps who was getting "feedback" on the actual use and I suggested to him that Blockbuster take advantage of all their data information on consumer buying/viewing habits and incorporate that into their boxes. The guy looks at me blankly and says "Umm I don't know ... we're just starting but we have a lot of boxes in Florida and this is our first one in Houston." Then he smiles.

So I think to myself "Whatever, die already ..." If I knew the buying movie habits of thousands of people and had it narrowed down to certain movies and move types by various geographic locations then I'd sure as hell kick Redbox's ass by AT LEAST offering more relevant titles and not the SAME EXACT ONES! ]]>Aug 18th 2009 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/
Blockbuster needs to do us all a favor and go away.]]>Aug 18th 2009 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/
One of these companies will not be around in a few more months. While Motorola has been struggling for some time with its mobile phone division, my money in on Blockbuster either closing doors quietly or getting bought by another company that is falling from grace.

When your best strategy is to link up with a company that is not doing well, you are in trouble. Please tell me that you have something else up your sleeve.

If Blockbuster falls first, Motorola needs to take the sign as a warning and get serious. Do not link up with losers. If Moto falls first, Blockbusters needs to prepare for the inevitable. Good luck!]]>Aug 18th 2009 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/Aug 18th 2009 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/Aug 18th 2009 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/Aug 18th 2009 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/Aug 18th 2009 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/Aug 18th 2009 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/blockbuster-partnering-with-motorola-for-ondemand-movies/
