Blockbuster is still around? Christ, I haven't seen a Blockbuster anywhere around this area for years and years now.
LOL yeah we don't go to the brick and mortar store. I think the wife chose Blockbuster (back when we were dating) b/c they had a coupon every month for a free in-store rental. In their downward spiral they got rid of that part of the plan but my wife still kep the 3 out at a time plan.
Well, first chance you get, like everyone else, I completely recommend Netflix. I spend hours upon hours every week on Netflix on my 360 (plus PC when on the road for vacation or work or other trips), with easily 100+ movies sitting in my Instant Watch queue, plus the 1 DVD for stuff not available (yet) for Instant Watch.
When I worked at Movie Gallery (formerly second largest chain in the country behind Blockbuster), we had a promotion where we would give pre-paid cards to the store for a certain price. It's been so long I don't remember the deal ... but it was a decent deal.
Anyway, we had this guy come in and he was renting enough movies that his due amount would have paid for the card, it would have been cheaper, and he would have still had money on the card. He was so convinced I was trying to swindle him ("What if you go bankrupt?!"), that he refused to buy the card. He just kept asking questions like "what if you're not around in a year", that when JB mentioned Blockbuster going belly up, it reminded me of that.

Meh you still hear rumblings about them folding. When the economy tanked people considered their XM radio a "luxury" they could do without (and I agree).
The stock is trading at like < $2 last I checked.
The merger would be like GM and Chrysler merging to make one uberly bad automobile company.
Welcome to the future... everything we know today will literally be gone tomorrow
The following WWE releases were added to Netflix's streaming service yesterday:
*The True Story of Wrestlemania Vol. 1
* WWE's Top 50 Superstars
* Bobby Heenan
* The John Cena Experience
* The Rise and Fall of WCW
* Breaking the Code: Chris Jericho
* Ricky Steamboat
* Hart and Soul - The Hart Family Anthology
I watched The True Story of Wrestlemania Vol. 1 last night. Recommended viewing for all wrestling fans.
Great quote in regards to the Netflix price hike....
"People don't calculate hourly entertainment value very well."
Have you watched "The True Story of Wrestlemania" yet. I was really impressed how good it was.
Netflix just added Storage Wars been wanting to check that show out from the beginning.
They also added The Wonder Years.
