just wanted to point out playstation was released in 1994.
>>How many different companies have put out a console since then?

>>If computers become ubiquitous, stable, and easily accessible, I believe it >>is possible that one day we will have NO consoles
How many video cards have ATI and NVIDIA released in the past 10 years?
I agree that blockbuster is the best out there right now. There's no throttling that I can see (netflix dropped me down to about 1 movie a week), you can trade in your movies for more at the store (as you pointed out), and you also get a coupon for an extra in store game/movie rental per month. I'm avg. 12 movies a week vs netflix about 1-2 after throttling. If someone was inclined to make backups that makes a really impressive deal...
