It's a normal psychological process; why buy milk when you have a cow at 
home?  I have a similar issue where I don't want to rent a film from NF
if it'll be on HBO soon where I can watch it in HD without using up a
rental slot.

Blockbuster has tried to capitalize on in-store synergy; I'm sure you saw
the Superbowl ad where they're offering an in-store rental per week with
their rental-by-mail plan.  But you have to print out a coupon, take it
to the store to rent one of their selections, return it, and in general
all the hassle people associate with BB.
