Say Goodbye to Blockbuster in 2011

[WhoDatJorts]

I have never tried this Red Box. I would still have to go somewhere to get the movie and bring it back.

Sounds goofy to me.

Yup, that's why I don't use it. Still have to waste gas to take the movie back the next day so I only pay a dollar for it...

good reason. I go by just about every day on my way to the gym so its no hassle for me.

Netflix and Redbox didn't get me to contribute to it's demise... DVR and On-Demand did.

fug driving somewhere to rent a DVD that might be scratched when I can download it and save the time and trouble.

It is all about streaming.

i broke up with ballbuster about 7 years ago, ask for scissors cut my card and broke stuff on the way. f those greedy late changing mofos.

internet gives me all movies/games for free.

[pstall]

didn't our huddle gurus call this 2 yrs ago?

[davos]

even when that store was in its prime i went to the used record store to buy a 2.99-4.99 movie, then came ondemand and everything else. This is long overdue and I'm surprised it took this long

[SorthNarolina]

That woohoo! noise the redbox does makes my day every time I hear it.

[UCaneFanII]

FWIW sign up for redbox text things from their website and get a free rental the first monday of every month

Was at Blockbuster today for the first time in a hot one. $9 for video games? wtf. It's only for 5 days too. Not even a week. Their selection was tiny too. Redbox, Gamefly, and the interwebz are murkin off on them.

Other noteable businesses going out next year:

Kia Moters

Reader's Digest - (no homo)

Kia was merged/bought out by Hyundai, so in essence, Kia has been gone for a few years now. (They have/had one of the best Design Centers around.)

Netflix movies and Watch it Now, is where it's at.

If you told me 10 years ago that the video rental industry was about to go down in flames, I'd have laughed at you. Just proof that on a long enough time line, every business model is obsolete.

Went to the BB by my house cuz they were advertising 60% off everything in the store.

Bullshit, USED PS3 games were $39.99 and $49.99 and the cheapest Wii game they had was $29.99.

With prices like that they deserve this
