Trash that sucker and move on with a Blu player.

And now you can add BlockBuster stores :

"Blockbuster was the national leader in the video rental business for nearly two decades. Now it is contemplating Chapter 11 to eliminate debt. The company lost $65 million last quarter. Its revenue continues to fall rapidly as firms such as Redbox and NetFlix siphon off its revenue."

BB didn't pay out $42+ MM to investors in order to keep cash on hand. BB has over 6,000 stores while Movie Gallery only had around 2,400 stores. BB will convert to online only with the Blu players VOD type content, if they don't trip up in the meantime.

RedBox now has day & date release access to DVD and Blu titles from Paramount. Look for kiosks to provide both dvd and blu or dvd in one vending machine and blu in the other.
