Gotcha...I just saw that it's the more expensive plan you can do that with...on Wikipedia they said until July you could do that with all plans, but now the other plans are limited in the returns to stores. Obviously the stores were getting killed by having so many movies out...I don't think that is a viable long term option. Otherwise stores would just have a "Pay 20 bucks rent all you want" type plan.

Wow, this thread sucks. I thought it was closing, not a blogger guessing it would be closing in 2 years.Comment

Agreed. I got all nervous because I'm a Total Access subscriber.
Very, very misleading title and selective quoting from the BLOG entry.

Re: Blockbuster Video Going Under!
While I think BB needs to improve overall I don't wish it would shutdown. I hate seeing any business shutdown due to the employees that will be out of a job. If it happens it happens but I woudn't be happy or wish for it.Joshua:

Re: Blockbuster Video Going Under!
so how the heck am I supposed to rent movies? Hollywood just closed up in our area, but the Blockbuster down the street is doing great. I hope it doesn't close... otherwise we won't have any movie shops in the area.http://flotn.blogspot.com

BB better stay open. I have one down the street and it makes it stupidly easy to rent games. I like their service and hope they stay up.Eagles, 76ers, Phillies, Arsenal FC, Wildcats, Vols

Re: Blockbuster Video Going Under!
Blockbuster won't close down. The blogger is making this prediction based on them losing money every year.
All that'll happen is Blockbuster shutting down their stores and sticking with online rentals.
That's going to happen some day because there is no more money in video rental stores. Nothing BB does will change that."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: Blockbuster Video Going Under!
I think there is money in rentals, just not enough money to sustain a big corporation like Blockbuster...there will always be local chains. People will never stop going "Hey honey, let's rent 'X' tonight", then go and rent a movie. Online sites are great (I'm with Netflix right now), but it really really blows for the impulse movie rental.Blockbuster won't close down.

Perhaps as downloading movies becomes more feasible (faster, somehow able to watch on my HDTV, etc) then b&m stores will die. Even then, it'll take a while. HDTV still hasn't taken over from standard def yet, and it's been around for quite a while.Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment
