Blockbuster Online has been very successful this year and it has been cutting into Netflix’s expected growth. Netflix struck back by lowering prices and engaging in more aggressive advertising and is very optimistic for the fourth quarter.

With this news, Netflix has increased expectations. I just hope they can manage another price break soon.
