I went there a few times and have never had a bad experience. And I guess this means Blockbuster’s new businesss model of $1/$2 redbox-style rentals isn’t working out too well for them.

What kind of stupid decisions are these? Don’t they know they will not qualify for bail out? :LOL:

Also, update your que of wanted movies often, and have a nice long list. It is surprising how quickly you will go through the list. NetFlix doesn’t remind you when you are out.

Word of advice: take the time to rate your rentals and your old favorites. The profile recommendations and similar-user ratings have saved me from renting a lot of deceiving crap (like “Romance & Cigarettes”) and helped me discover movies I loved that I never even knew existed (“Be Kind Rewind” comes to mind).

Between RedBox and Netflix, I just don’t see how a physical store is remotely good business sense.
