I just got an email from NCR telling me not to worry about Blockbuster Express, that it is wholly owned by NCR, and will continue serving videos for a while. So if NCR owned the express kiosks, wtf did blockbuster own that was still valuable?


Blockbuster is sort of like 7-11. IIRC, most of the stores are franchisees. NCR was probably just using Blockbuster's name and bargaining position with the studios on the price of movies.
