We have a lot of movies this week, but mostly it’s NetFlix catching up with Blockbuster and the others who get the DVD’s first now. I don’t know how NetFlix is going to deal with this new twist (ok, maybe not so new) but it seems to be that more and more distributors are starting to release to certain vendors before others. I think this is unfair, and I’m sorry that the technology of today is interfering with the brick and mortar dvd rental businesses, but it seems it would be the same as if only certain theater chains could get movies on their release date and all the others would have to wait a few weeks. It doesn’t seem right to me. Released on DVD should mean released on DVD. I suspect they won’t be able to get away with this as more and more and more DVD’s are given “early release” to just some people to punish others for coming up with the mail-order dvd business in the first place. My opinion for whatever it’s worth. –Happy Viewing! –Ed .
