I read a week or two ago that Amazon is testing online DVD rentals in the UK, so Amazon may ultimately enter the U.S. market as well.

I love Amazon, but I hope Netflix succeeds because of their innovation in this area.

For Amazon, it makes sense. For Wal-Mart, it is just taking advantage of an opportunity because it can. They are not naturals in the DVD rental business. I hope they fail. I hope Amazon makes a go of it, though, because all businesses need competition. There will be room for both, and it will keep Netflix honest.

I won't rent from Blockbuster no matter what they charge. I know that if they destroy Netflix, they will jack up the fees and introduce late charges.
