Wait, if this is rental only then they'll be selling them elsewhere. What stops Netflix from buying 1,000 copies the old fashioned way (as opposed to the manufacturer giving them a discount and mailing it directly to them) and then putting them into circulation.

It isn't like you need the manufacturers permission to rent a DVD out.

Oh, and apparently each title is exclusive to Blockbuster for three years.
