I've got a spaceship, fully equipped...

Sleaziness. It's pretty much ubiquitous in business. Usually I can let it slide, as just being how companies compete in a capitalistic marketplace. However, sometimes I see something that strikes me as maybe going to far (or at the very least just seems surprising).

I posted yesterday about Netflix's victory over WalMart. It appears that Blockbuster did not want to take this lying down. Check out this link for a current promotion being run by Blockbuster.

That's pretty hardcore. It's also interesting since I did in fact just cancel my Netflix account. However, the incentives offered by them aren't enough greater than the overall feeling of sleaziness I get to get me to bite on this offer.
