Anyone Else Miss Going to Blockbuster Video?

[Foxy]

I rented this game once

When I checked the back of the box and they had printed the cheat codes onto the box

I used to have Blockbuster Total Access. To me it was a better deal than Netflix cause I had a blockbuster store less than 3 minutes from my house. Well they closed that store and they also closed the one about 10 minutes away from me. We had 4 Blockbuster stores in our city and now we have none. the closest one in in Lapeer about 20 minute away. At that point I just said fukk it and switched to Netflix. Now i find out they're closing the whole shebang even the DVD by mail service.

Nah. So long. Good riddance.

Although I wish I had the chance to use that Pokemon Snap station they had back then.

Yeah, the end of an era. Literally my childhood is disappearing from sight. Technology sometimes can be a bytch.

Yeah just the popular games, it's the small obscure games that I'd like to play for cheap and those aren't in the redbox. Don't like gamefly.

Then create an alternative to gamefly.

What is not to like about Gamefly anyway? Price sucks, but the way to get a deal is to buy gift certificates for a year and go that route. Still a cheaper option than blockbuster if you rent most of your games

It's called advancement

Blockbuster was a dinosaur that needed to be put down

So many stories. I must have rented Transformers The Animated Movie like 20 times. I was another who rented all the old wrestling VHS tapes so I knew about shyt that happened like 5-6 years before I was born. Rented a new game for N64 like every other day too.

I'm going to miss the easy access to all the old movies, martial arts flicks like people were saying, etc... Netflix doesn't have half that shyt

you li' fukks are missing out breh.

Breh that was legit the first movie as I child id tell my parents to rent me.. I was like 5 years old

Because i dont like being on a wait list to play something, then when the shyt comes im playing something else. With blockbuster on a whim i could pick something up.
