Apparently, just a heads up "Blockbuster was doing this two years before they shut their doors." -Quote from IGN user.

They did, and it was fucking great.

But BB was dying way before they started their Game Pass program. They were losing tons of money and shutting almost every store down. 

If there are no restrictions, this will be an incredible deal for gamers.

And since Gamestop is the product retail equivalent of Electronic Arts and Ubisoft combined, I smell a rat.  

Sure, Blockbuster was bleeding cash from the ears but Gamestop isn't exactly swimming in it either.  They've been getting their teeth kicked in YOY by Amazon, Best Buy and even Walmart.  This program will lose them money too, as it's a business model that's designed to be sold at a loss, in order to get people to come into the store more often.  So they can pre-order beg and impulse you into whatever's in the glass case behind the counter, a model that does not work in the current decade.  Especially because it's Gamestop, the only place "for" gamers, that gamers don't want to be.
