Blockbuster and Samsung are teaming up to allow access to Blockbuster content via select Samsung HDTVs, home theater systems and Blu-ray players.
Blockbuster subscribers will be able to manage their queues and get ratings, trailers, and other information about each movie directly on the TV, Samsung said. Users can also rent or buy movies using the feature. Samsung will also sell Blu-ray players with the integrated Blockbuster OnDemand service at retails outlets and via blockbuster.com.
Both offerings will be available in the fall of 2009.
Customers with select 2009 Samsung Blu-ray players and home theater systems, Samsung LCD and Plasma HDTVs Series 650 and above, and Samsung LED HDTVs Series 7000 and above, will be able to access the Blockbuster OnDemand offering for free by conducting a firmware upgrade.
In March, Blockbuster partnered with TiVO to offer Blockbuster on-demand content via TiVo DVR boxes.
