Looks like we might be down to Redbox for rentals in my town if Blockbuster (the last Brick & Mortar video rental store left) shuts down. I guess VOD and Netflix has truly taken over, although I prefer to watch my shows on DVD/Blu-Ray. I used to Netflix, but they have become really poor at getting the new anime releases in lately. Not that Blockbuster provided my anime anyway (although I did rent most of what they had on hand back in the day).

All I can really say is "oh well". I live right next to a Hastings and they've always had tremendously better policies and selections then any Blockbuster I've ever been in

::smh::
And to think, long ago, Blockbuster once had an opportunity to buy up Netflix while they were still in their infancy. |

Good riddance. I'm never one to cheer for a company to fall but this was coming for a long time now. It a matter of time before they wont even be around anymore.

I saw that my Blockbuster is gone. =/
Oh well, all things have to end someday, right?

Our local Blockbuster is a machine at Sheetz ~ surely those are not going to close down!

There's a Blockbuster box near my house otherwise. There's still oddly plenty of video stores in the Toledo area however (probably one of the last handouts in the country). |

And to believe not so very long the FTC was afraid of Blockbuster developing a monopoly in it's industry (after the fall of Blockbuster was already in motion...)
