Actually, they are likely to give Blockbuster a lot of their customers over this.

Blockbuster has the same pricing tiers, but does not have streaming like Netflix.

However Blockbuster does provide BluRays with no added fee and provides a lot of other discounts. In addition, an extra $3/month allows you to have five instant movie swaps at the store. So this will almost guarantee quick access to new releases using the Blockbuster service. Netflix has already stated that 30% of their rentals are new releases, but that is huge when you consider that at any given time there are 100k movies available, but only 50-100 of those would be considered a New Release. Expect Blockbuster to make some hay over this. Now I have thought about it, I think I will switch.
