Blockbuster can suck it

While I will still use their online service as I love that, the brick and motor store here can suck it.  The Blockbuster that siddd05 and I go to when I visit him has new release games.  The one by me, crap.

So I walked across the parking lot at work to the Family Video.  Damn, great prices.  They had All Pro.  They also have free movie rentals, granted those are educational, excercise, and kid movies.  But that is more than what Blockbuster offers.

Blockbuster has changed though since they got sued for that. The online service rocks. The brick and motor store can eat shit.

I like Family Video so much more than I do any other Video store, I have rented 5or 6 movies at a time from there for less than 10 bucks. A movie at BB Is usually around $5.

i stopped doing business with Block cluster years ago. they boned me on return fees one too many times. One time i know for certain i dropped the movie in the box at 515 am well before the 12 noon due time. They wanted 9 bucks for overdue fees. that was last time i did business there. i absolutely refuse to get raped by some shithead kids that didnt log my video returns right and a multibillion dollar industtry that is flat out raping us 4 dollars at a time.

I feel ya on that one. There are 2 BB's close to me, the closer of the two has a real shitty stock of 360 games. They don't get everything and what they do get, they get like 2 copies. The other one that's a little farther had an awesome selection so naturally i'd go there to rent. But now that farther one closed and so I thought maybe the closer one would get their ass in gear and get more games. Nope. Still as shitty as ever.

I always wonder if the stores even realize how far they are from the online competition, and how much they realize they're close to becoming extinct. I'm within about 5 miles of two different BB stores, and I almost always have to wait at least a week before there's even a chance I'll get a hot new release.
