Recent Developments We believe that the DVD format, along with its high definition successor formats, including Blu-ray, will continue to be the main vehicle for watching content in the home for the foreseeable future. We introduced a new feature in January 2007 that allows subscribers to instantly watch movies and television series on their PCs. We intend to broaden the distribution capability of this feature to multiple platforms over time, and, as a result, in January 2008 we announced a development arrangement with LG Electronics. While the terms of this arrangement have not been finalized, we anticipate developing, in conjunction with LG, a set-top box device that will enable our instant-watching feature to be viewed directly through subscribers televisions. In late 2006, Blockbuster launched its integrated store-based and online program, Total Access, whereby Blockbuster online subscribers may return DVDs delivered to them from Blockbuster Online to Blockbuster stores in exchange for an in-store rental. Total Access was aggressively priced and experienced rapid subscriber growth and large operating losses in the first half of 2007. In the second half of 2007, Blockbuster adopted a new competitive strategy which emphasized profitable growth. As part of this new strategy, Blockbuster reduced their marketing spending and raised prices on Total Access, which we believe contributed to an acceleration in our subscriber growth.
