Hate to say this... But I think we can expect Blockbuster and LOVEFiLM (along with the remaining film studios) to give up HD-DVD within the next 12 months - Expect an official anouncement from TOSHIBA very soon

I can't see any reason they'd stop renting them, if there are still people that want to rent them. I'm sure Lovefilm say on their site somewhere that they carry any title available.

ditto that.

Cant see them just stopping to rent them though.

Maybe keep an eye out in the ex-rental section

I think the OP is referring to their online rental offering.
