..but the Online rental scene is strong as ever!
The online DVD rental war
(extracts from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4804624.stm)
By Will Smale, BBC News business reporter
Over the last year, there has been an explosion in the popularity of renting DVDs via the internet.
Most providers offer a broadly identical service. For a monthly subscription fee, your chosen DVDs are mailed out to you, and once you have watched a film, you simply post it back in the provided pre-paid envelope.
Such is the ease and convenience of the service that from a virtual standing start in 2004, it is predicted to account for almost two-thirds of overall DVD rentals in the UK by 2009, according to independent media market research group Screen Digest.

Yep, watch them street stores start to close...

While its new rivals simply operate from anonymous warehouses, thus keeping their overheads to a bare minimum, Blockbuster still has to pay for the upkeep of all its shops. Shops which, according to independent market research, are going to see a sharp decline in their revenues. |
