Good. Now they can get to business at hand: becoming more competitive with Netflix. Blockbuster: I'm waiting for your set top box that will put Netflix's to shame and cement you as the leader.

Thank God. All I could see them doing is raising Circuit City's prices, which I do consider competitive, to ridiculous levels similar to what they charge for movie rentals.
