Blockbuster Beta-Testing Movielink Downloads

1:30AM July 25, 2008 | Jason Chen

Blockbuster may be planning in-store download kiosks, but their recent beta-testing of Movielink downloads seems like they’re aiming for at-home downloads as well. They’ve picked 500 Total Access customers to test out the US$2 rental, US$8 purchase system from Movielink, which will allow customers to rent when flicks hit video-on-demand, and buy when they hit DVD. It’s fairly interesting that Blockbuster will charge extra for movies when Netflix is going with a free, albeit limited, streaming service. We’d like Blockbuster to follow suit. [Dallas News]

    Blockbuster just did Netflix a big favor.
