anyone else miss going in Blockbuster, Hollywood videos etc .....?

I miss going to Blockbuster/Hollywood Video, don’t miss the late fee’s.

I rented so many Genesis and SNES games, it wasnt even funny. Renting Sonic 3 to Streets of Rage 3 to Super Mario RPG to Battletoads/Double Dragon.

Those times when you’d rent the same game every other week and nobody fukked with your save file.

Renting Madden 99 and returning the case with Madden 98 inside.

We would spend what seemed like hours in a video store. shyt was kind of a hang out. My mom was the queen of rentals, knew the workers and had them save the new releases for her. Now she's the queen of stream

The good ol days tho. Miss hitting up Sam goody or musicland in the mall. Shopping for new cds is something I do miss.

shyt was just like looking through Netflix for a half hour before giving up except you were getting your steps in

no wonder we overweight outchea

I remember when i was in 4th grade on a Friday right after school riding my bike on a cold day with Knicks starter jacket on to go rent NBA Live 97 for Genesis

Naa I'm good. Those late fees would stack up from me being too lazy to return shyt on time.

I used to have a couple of Blockbuster videos I’ve never returned, one of them is ANTZ Had that tape since 2000 lol.

I used to stay renting Pokémon The Movie 2000, Pokémon The Movie 3, and Digimon The Movie from Hollywood Video. Good times.

Also, Jurassic Park predicted the end of Blockbuster Timestamp: 0:28 to 0:36

Plot twist: The eyes were actually titties

 

[JBoy]

there was a regional chain called "Video Warehouse" where I grew up where I used to rent games from all the time (I was a weird kid who would also rent the same games 30 times) I was genuinely sad when I rode by one day and saw that it had shut down for good.

Remember when it use to be them circular plastic tabs with Velcro on the back to take to the front desk?




Also prices weren't scanned back then. It was just them stickers. Pops use to peel the cheap price tags and put them on the dope shyt. No questions asked.

Block Buster and Circuit City


The last movies my family bought from there was Snakes On a Plane and The Wicker Man in '06, I remember that day strangely


CircuitCity was the shyt man, we used to get PS2 Jampack demos from there, I got Crash Bash or Team Racing and Fighting Force on PS1 from there. Halloween time it was transformed Into a COMPLETELY different place, costumes, creepy decor, Halloween themed music...I miss the 2000s.

I miss picking up the random movie i would have never thought of getting. Yeah I can scroll through movies on Netflix but it ain’t the same.
