"Investors might also be eyeing the studio deals Blockbuster has been striking that give it a four-week head-start over Redbox and Netflix for renting new-release DVDs.

And Blockbuster's kiosk venture with partner NCR is on track to close out June with 7,000 kiosks and end the year with 10,000. And in June the kiosks will begin selling new releases, complete with shrink-wrapped packaging."

Add to that

"Blockbuster will test the machine with its Members to evaluate the feasibility of a system wide rollout in 2010."

"Movie trailers can be shown on the high resolution display when the N9000 is co-located with DVD rental machines.

Remember:

"We are developing turnkey solutions including a nationwide service network that will meet the demands of today's value driven national account customer. We are also working on several 'branding' opportunities for national accounts," said Mel Wyman, Pop N Go's CEO."

I would expect the N9000 to be dressed in BLUEBOX garb if/when they do a national rollout.
