I had blockbuster a year or 2 ago. It was great. then they knocked down my weekly free coupons to 2 per month. then they took them away completely. then they raise the price. i think i left at that point but since then I believe they started limiting how many in store exchanges you can do to 3 per month, raised prices yet again, and now returning to the store doesn't even send out the next movie. really...what good is blockbuster? why would anyone want it over netflix? if blockbuster's plan is to drive away all customers so they can declare bankruptcy then it's working. I'm no CEO but i would think you would try to build brand loyalty and bring in more customer rather than lose the ones you already have.

what we want RIAA to do is change their business model. it's not working. it's evident to everyone except the RIAA. We also kinda ask for real proof of the charges rather than just an IP. Also stop suing for exorbitant fees. share 10 songs and have to pay $220,000? it doesn't add up. I read an article that showed fines for file sharing dished out so far are over 10x as large as fines for REAL crimes.

How does this affect their campaign against colleges? i know there was an article in which RIAA wanted to extort money from colleges and agree not to sue them but what if colleges say no. is the ISP going to shut down internet access to the entire university if the RIAA asks for it?

From what i've seen demo'd in the stores, I really really want a bluray player but there's a couple reasons i have not yet. first, of course, is price. i do my research on products before i buy so it seems like the quality bluray players all cost $400+. Bluray is still pretty new so when I found out there's different profiles, of course i want the newest one but it's not readily available yet. so i have to wait for that. reviews also show that many of the bluray players have long load times so now i have to wait for that to improve. i don't want to buy a bluray player just to have a bluray player. i want to make sure it's something that's current and won't annoy the heck out of me.
