Blockbuster May Buy Movielink

Blockbuster is now in talks with Movielink, and planing to acquire the company. Movielink is a movie downloading site, which is owned by top movie studios. This move by Blockbuster would allow it to be more competitive against its number one competitor Netflix. Netflix is introducing a "Watch Now" feature where it will allow its customers to view certain content on your PC. Movielink on the other hand allows you to rent or buy both via download a large number of movies, which for rent feature you have a 24 hour window to watch the movie. If Blockbuster manages to acquire Movielink, it might put them in somewhat an advantage over Netflix.
