nope, they just have access to any movie, song, and practically any video game they want via bit torrent, and they can get it in less time than it took you to drive to the movie store, plus can google information on anything inside of 5 minutes.
don't sound old, kids these days have it 1000x times better than we didComment

"Better" is definitely subjective here. Art and culture have become completely throwaway and there's very little respect for the difficulties of the creative process.
Think about how you used to listen to music, if you were ever a huge fan. As a kid, I barely ever had the funds to go buy an album (and I'm only 23), but when I did it was a HUGE deal. I would hurry home and just sit in my room and listen to the CD all the way through.
Needless to say, I don't often do that anymore. The sheer amount of stuff out there (both good and bad) is enormous.

Full disclosure: I used to work at Blockbuster and still use their online program.
Blockbusters are closing left and right. I don't think they passed up the opportunity to kill Netflix, they were just too late on getting in on the online stuff.
Penny for penny, BB's online program is technically better because of the store. For those unfamiliar, you can return movies you received in the mail to the store for a free rental while you're waiting on the next movie from your queue to be mailed out. The problem is unless you're a movie nut like me, it's just excessive. You don't need it. For most people, Netflix is the way to go. It has a less expensive product because they don't have the overhead BB has, and they've become the most well known and trusted brand in online rentals.
In a few short years, BB will only be kiosks and online rentals. The stores will completely disappear. I, for one, will miss wandering around the "New Release" wall and up and down the aisles of older movies trying to figure out what to rent, the same way I miss doing similar things in the music store.Comment

yea we had the BB online thing partly because you could return them for free rentals. Two days after we found out they were closing the store we switched to Netflix. I basically just use the instant que, there is a lot to choose from, but wish it had even more.
With BB I used to rent numerous movies at a time because we'd get like 3 out at a time. Now its only one out at a time, so I still have to used redbox sometimes to get new movies. BB was better because you had no due date to turn them back in."It's the revenge of the dicks that's nine cocks that cock nines"Comment

Can someone explain the blockbuster in store exchanges? I have blockbuster online right now. Is what I am reading this, I get my movie in the mail. I watch it and the next day I can return it to a video store and exchange it for another movie and still get one in the mail as well so technically I could have two movies at once as long as I stay under the 5 exchanges per month?Comment

I wonder how family video is doing. I haven't seen a store closing and I have 3 of them within 20 minutes of me.Comment

How long has the turnaround been for you guys who use Blockbuster online? The reason I ask is because I used to subscribe to Blockbuster's service, but the average wait time to get the next movie on my list from the day I mailed back a movie was about four to five days.Comment

I just started because I basically got a free trial while buying movies at a closing store. I mailed my return on Monday, I can tell you soon.Comment

I would turn them back into the store to get a rental, so by the time i turned it in they would've gotten it back and be ready to send me my new disc. It usually took 2-3 days."It's the revenge of the dicks that's nine cocks that cock nines"Comment
