Blockbuter-online should provide a good start on most of the foreign films on this diary.

The way the "scheme" works is that they send me a DVD in the mail and I can either return by mail or take it to a local Blockbuster store and exchange one in store. Without going too much into my personal life: she gets to pick "blockbuster" or recent releases, while I get to choose more variety and not mainstream releases.

So for now it is working out pretty well.

Interesting scheme. Obviously meant to compete with Netflix, with the ability to exchange at your local Blockbuster giving you an option Netflix can't offer you.

Exactly, we had Netflix in Anchorage, Alaska, but the wait time was too long.

I knew from marketing they had to somehow tie in their store locations to the online. Once that is done then they could kill Netflix. But Blockbuster has been bleeding red ink for a while.

Wednesday night when I went to exchange my DVD again to get 2009 (Korean Sci-Fi) there must have been a 100 disks to be sent back from the store.
