well there is no doubt Blockbuster Video will always be something special to someone.
In my life growing up we have only rented movies from a couple of places... blockbuster and a little mom and pop video store.
Blockbuster had its high times in the late 80s and early 90s when movie and video game rentals were running high.
i remember every friday or saturday night being about 11 or 12 years old having a couple of friends over to stay the night and we would pester the crap out of my parents to drive us to blockbuster to grab a few movies and rent a game for the sega or NES / SNES.
it was like christmas time every weekend.
but as technology changed... so should have their business practices. The kiosks were too little too late.
Hopefully, they can restructure into a more up to date and with the times business model and stay around a bit longer.
they need to get into direct to Wii rentals, directo Ipad/pod rentals and direct to mailbox rentals etc. and they need to do such things aggressively and quickly lest they become dinosaurs of the industry.
