And the Netflix / Warner Bros. DVD release delays begin

Just like we heard earlier this month, Netflix has begun delaying the release of Warner Bros DVD titles. First up, or should I say first affected is The Invention of Lying and Whiteout. These titles are both scheduled to be available with Netflix as of February 16, 2010. Now for the part that is going to make Blockbuster Online seem like a good deal (at least for now). Both of these titles will be available with Blockbuster Online as of tomorrow. Its a sad day for Netflix, and now we can only hope that this 28 day delay cycle stays with Warner Bros and does not spread to other major studios. Honestly, if they really had a clue it would seem that they would want to speed these releases up, not slow them down.
