I remember when I found Dragon Ball GT Final Bout that shyt was out for months but I went one day with my mom and

Also when my boy tried to steal Vice City lol this nikka stuck a demo game in the case thinking shyt would be good. The store called his pops and his pops told him that the police were coming to pick him up from his crib this nikka was sad as hell, he was like "I'mma see y'all when I get out "

My moms knew all she had to do was rent me a WWF PPV and I was good for the weekend

 

[Kingshango]

Im gonna miss renting N64 games from there for the weekend.

That feeling when you rent the game you rented a few weeks ago again and your saved data is still there.

Im like, "yeah im about to finish this shyt THIS weekend."

 

[King Poetic]

love that spot

everybody would rent the new hot releases and ill be at the checkout with movies name ghetto dreams or the hood took me over type of shyt

 

[Methodical]

hearing a new game came out, hoping it was new at blockbuster, trying to hide games behind other games so u can come back and get it later

or knowing its friday and renting new releases or horror movies and buying that bucket of popcorn and 2 dollar box of movie candy


thats my childhood, breh

I miss my childhood.........why did you u have to hurt me again like that dawg?

 

[Methodical]

brehs i use to do some bad shyt

like 10-15 years ago i got a membership at a bunch of blockbusters in the atlanta area

and rented like every good wrestling ppv vhs they had and just kept them and never took them back

But yeah going to blockbuster on the weekend as a kid was like

All the new games titles you want would always be rented out when you got in there though

But sometime you'd ask them to check the drop box and if that new game was in there

Yeah, I remember me and my brother were looking for a video game and it wasn't there until we saw some people came in and drop the box and we gonna ask them, Is that game there?....

Those dvd discount bins....nikkas were eatin for Christmas!!

 

[The_Sheff]

Yeah, i played a lot more games and watched more movies when Blockbuster was around. Now you only option for playing a game is buy it at launch for 60 bucks or wait months to buy it for 30 bucks. I miss being able to just rent a game for 5 bucks.

I really dont know how kids are going to see all those classic movies we saw back in the day if they arent up on Netflix. Im not gonna buy The Never Ending Story for a kid but i would rent it if it was available.

@Dog Based Gremlin

Yes

EDIT: Over the last 1.5, I've been eatin' off Blockbuster Closing Sales

They closed the one I used to go to in high school

You can rent popular games for $2 a day @ redbox or get a gamefly subscription.

Still options out there

yeah, as a kid, my mom would always take me there and let me grab 2 games, and usually a movie too. i always wanted to run back into the adult section, but i never did, which is suprising because of how much worse shiit i would do? i remember when they started selling their used games, and i was stupid enough to convince her to buy me sub zero mythologies doc's was a video place too, that was actually just down the street from me. they had a smaller selection, but i would get more for the money. i rented plenty of games from there like secret of mana and evermore, blades of steel, donkey kong country, and plenty of other greats. they also had scratch-offs in the front of the store, which i would consistently win 40-60 bucks off of. come to think of it, i miss being able to go around and search. it was like an adventure as a kid. you can't even do that kind of shiit anymore. it's no wonder people are like zombies nowadays? everything can be sent straight into their home.

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.
