Even if Blockbuster hasn't "bent over" yet, they will follow when the production studios decide how smart they are in making Netflix agree to this. Honestly I don't care too much about the timeliness of releases, I can be patient, especially if it means I can stream it. However, this is just a step in the wrong direction. How long until we can pay $.99 to rent it the day it gets released to brick and mortar stores, or face waiting 6 months to stream it? Movie studios need to understand the only way to stop piracy, and to make their customers happy is to sell them what they want, when they want it, and in the format they want.
