Anonymous Coward User ID: 31649009 Canada 01/21/2013 11:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They frankly deserve it. Their customer service was so atrocious, I gave up going there. FOr instance, they had a special offer with tickets for a free movie if you rented a load marked that you could not use them before May and June, so I went in in Julym having spent a fortune to get these free ones and they just told, "Well, you should have used them like everyone else in May and June." Then I returned a movie and they told me to put it in the absket. Next thing I know, I 've got three days late fee, simply because their lazy staff had not processed the films for three days, and when I complained, they asked which memeber of staff had I given it too or no momney back. So, next time, I go in to return a movie, I insist on giving it to a person and not putting it in the basket. Result? I get some cocky wench resuing to take it telling me I had to put it in the basket. After a fuss and being told that I was "An asshole", simply for protecting myself. Never went back there ever again. Had a gutful and happy to see them in well-deserved closure. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 30904903 United States 01/22/2013 12:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | VHS is one of a few technologies that came and went during my lifetime. The first blank tapes I saw back in 1981 were about $15 at the Video Concepts. Bought my first VCR with a CAMERA! in 1982 for $2000. In 1990 I started working on VCRs. I charged $30 to replace a belt that cost me $1.50. A cleaning was about $20 and that would fix most problems. Now you can buy a VCR for $30 if you can find one. Good times. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18237036 Our world is coming down and its but a matter of time till america is shoveled under. The commie zionazi is making the usa promise land home for future wars and global unrest. You are a damn fruit loop. Blockbuster had a horrible business model that was doomed from the start. To start they prayed upon user willingness to ignore phony late fees. With instant streaming, netflix, redbox, u name it, Bb is a pathetic brick&mortar dinosaur post the asteroid smack down. Get real you fucking nut job! America is on the edge of Complete and Total Collapse... This time next year, you will lucky if you are still alive..Let alone typing on a computer.. Its over folks... this person is right on the money. although it could drag on for awhile yet. and yeah, it's over. buy all the survival gear you can afford...... delta recon.....out |

User ID: 31123477 United States 01/22/2013 02:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This may have already been posted, but here's why: REDBOX. Cheaper and more convenient, but terrible selection. Our new reality is less choices on everything. Real Eyes, Realize, Real Lies..... Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. ~H. L. Mencken~ We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. ~Plato~ When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic. ~Dresden James~ |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32751882 $1.99 each. Thanks Obama! Wow, let me quess, you blame Obama when you stub your toe as well? Try blaming who really caused bb to go under, Netflix, Red Box, and the internet in general. Exactly. What's Obama got to do with the fact that streaming over the internet has become so popular it's not worth it to rent or even sell physical copies of DVDs/Blu Rays? Or that even gaming industry has become more and more interested in digital distributing of their games? Some people just don't seem to understand what's going on in real life... |
