"You may not be ordering the stuff, but I guarantee you a lot of other people are." Denver- Good point. Whenever I go to Blockbuster, I spend most of my time in the foreign films or classic movie section. Rarely do I browse the "new releases" section which is always packed with people. My point. I assume storage space is so cheap, why not just throw thousands of movies onto the servers if they own the content anyway. That way they can get everyone, including me, to order movies. BUT that would mean much more spending on network upgrades as demand may end up crashing the system. So if they can get the most out of the current VOD network and systems, then why not milk that for all it's worth first. You have a good point. I'll have to review the VOD titles again with this in mind and see if your speculation is accurate. Thanks. -MikeM(From Florida)
