That baby is doomed.



They have been done for sometime now. I do not understand why they just dont fold.



Whats blockbuster? Do they rent games or movies? And how do they do it, u go into a video store or are they through mail or are they like vending machines?



The last game I rented from Blockbuster was The Warriors years ago, I haven't been there in ages.

That's a shame. I'll wait for the liquidation so I can stock up on Blu-Rays and games.

Video and games rental store. Works on a business model that was good in the 90's, but now it just can't compete and it's been rather stubborn to change.

It's a shame because blockbusters used to be a good store.



Won't die out worldwide just yet I don't think. Here in NZ red-box doesn't exist and our equivalent of Netflix hasn't taken off.



Poor guys :( Blockbuster Canada is still profitable! but netflix is coming soon so that will change.

what the blockbuster near me seems fine, however it has turned a bit more like gamestation - buying and selling preowned titles with match trade in prices.
