Blockbuster has joined with 2Wire to release the 2Wire MediaPoint digital media player, a new solution for watching video on demand from Blockbuster. Now rather than heading off to Blockbuster to rent movies, you can use the 2Wire MediaPoint digital media player to watch Blockbuster videos on demand,
Blockbuster is saying that their digital media is ‘free’, that rather you are paying for 25 rentals which are included with the 2Wire digital media player. However at this price of ‘free’ you are paying for $4 per rental, and afterwards rentals will only be $1.99 each. A great deal?

It doesn’t seem that this setup box for Blockbust and 2Wire is going to be able to overthrow Netflix. For as little as 8.99 per month Netflix allows 1 dvd rental in the mail per time as well as unlimited online on demand rentals. With Blockbuster’s new service you only get a little more than 4 rentals on demand for the same price. I don’t think Netflix is too worried.
The Blockbuster service will start with 2000 titles on demand which you can watch on demand with the 2Wire player.
