Redbox -- a division of Coinstar -- bought its biggest rival, Blockbuster Express. Blockbuster Express -- which is actually owned by NCR, after Blockbuster spun it off but before Blockbuster was bought in bankruptcy by Dish Networks -- probably couldn't compete with Redbox, even with "same day releases". Though getting the last laugh in the fight with Warner Bros may be worth the purchase price. (I'm assuming WB was giving Blockbuster Express same-day access, or at least only delaying releases to them by 28 days).

I haven't read up on that deal yet, though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp3xlcJHN8w -- Wesley McGee http://www.ambivi.com http://sterlingnorth.vox.com http://drawing-a-blank.tumblr.com Twitter: @westwit G+: http://plus.google.com/113413697748381364954 Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/wesleymcgee -- TV or Not TV ....
