Netflix in on HDNA campaign

I posted this before in another thread.

The BDA should get together with Netflix and offer a free 3-month subscription to rent blu-rays only for PS3 buyers so we can wake up those "sleeping" blu-ray players. The PS3 owner, who the HD DVD camp says are not real movie watchers, will get a glimpse of Blu-ray and might actually start buying movies.

Screw that, do a Paramount and buy them outright.


Seriously, that's a good idea.

Hmm. Current market cap of $1.63 billion. One billion (or a little more) might get a controlling interest. But, probably too many anti-trust issues.

I would think Blockbuster would be itching to do a deal. It would also give support to the largest B&M chain supporting Blu-ray almost exclusively.

Another option is to offer a free trial for either one in the box.
