I still hate blockbuster. I find it strange that they somehow had a redemption arc by going away except one.
I always thought they were a 3rd teir rental store, but that was fine. Then they went evil and then they went out of business. Good riddance.
Mergers, acquisitions, shitty customer service etc, and "More than 40 states filed suit against the company for false advertising"
Yeah. Fuck blockbuster.
When they were going out of business my mate rented as many games as he could "for a weekend". I think he had about 5 separate accounts somehow. Sat on a whole fucking library of xbox games, late return notices and fees piling up. Just hoping they went out of business before they could pass it onto debt collectors.
Lucky son of a bitch got away with it too
Damn, gotta respect the hustle
I have always been baffled by the nostalgia that people have for Blockbuster. It was the shittiest movie rental place.
There were better rental chains, and none of them compared to the mom and pop places.
Where I was it was family video
Videoezy was where it was at
