Engadget reported today that Blockbuster maybe be entering the movie set-top-box space for this holiday season. Wow, talk about coming a little late to the fight. Engadget said it best, in some ways it makes sense with Netflix spreading it’s streaming service all over like a virus, but to only be talking about a possible set-top-box, in November, for this holiday season? Talk about a last minute decision.

This leads me to our new poll. Are you still using Blockbuster, either online or the brick and mortar flavor, as a movie rental service? Take the poll to the right and let us know what you think. Comments are always welcome.

On this weeks podcast we come to you from La Jolla California, the Jewel of San Diego, where we discuss yet more Netflix, a little Boxee, Kung Fu Panda and the usual round-up of movie news from new additions to recent removals.
