Wal-Mart Turns Over DVD Rentals to Netflix

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the enough-of-this dept.

prostoalex writes "US retail giant Wal-Mart is turning its DVD rental business to Netflix. No word on how much money the deal is worth but Netflix will feature promotional Wal-Mart links for the 100K customers it gets from the retail chain."

    Wow, hooray for Netflix, I guess.

    Netflix should figure out a way to use Wal-Mart as a local cache. For the hottest releases, you don't have to wait for the thing to be delivered (or even downloaded and burned >-). You hand the Wal-Mart electronics guru your Netflix card, and they put your name in the computer.

    There's got to be a way to make that work more cheaply than mailing each one.
