R.I.P. Blockbuster Video

[short]

dish network is gonna close the remaining 300 blockbuster stores. teh garve for blockbuster started to get dug when netflix and other on demand services became the norm

only a matter of time..too many more convenient and cheaper options out there

I haven't seen a blockbuster in years .They turned the one down the street into a 7-11 .

I've outlasted Blockbuster and can now keep my VHS copy of Mortal Kombat without fear.

It was always cool as a kid going to the video store looking for a movie. Sometimes I'd get to rent a video game too. And if you had 25 cents to get a gum ball you just might have won a free rental.

To be honest tho, sometimes I didn't rewind. I guess we can't be kind all of the times.

just drove by one about 5 miles from my house a couple weeks ago with going out of business signs up and all I could think of was "just now?"

couldn't believe it was still open in 2013

I was a Wherehouse kid myself. Blockbuster was the backup when Wherehouse closed down. and I always was jealous of kids who went to Bradley Video.

Blockbuster was garbage anyways... They tried to charge us $110.00 for a fuckin lost vhs tape one time

 

[DAT NIGGA TAZZ]

I do miss my death row: uncut vhs tape... That was the shit back in the day

 

[Gas One]

when they did the 'no late fees' at blockbuster i was bringin shit back 3 weeks late and didnt give one fuck, they suspended my account for that lol

muthafucka was rentin shit for a month for 4.99, that shit was the lick with games for a second

i dont know how ima rent my video games no more tho thats kinda wack

we need another one of them jawns

i think me and my homies were the main reason they stopped putting video games in the plastic boxes behind the games at blockbuster. we used to take them out, take the barcodes off and walk out....shit we broke into the playstation stand thing where you could play games and took the playstation and ran out the fuckin emergency exit, jumped the fence to mariners village apartments...i remember the day street fighter 2 for nintendo came out shit was the first day i strong arm robbed someone in my life..lil suburban kid came to the blockbuster in the hood, we beat the shit out of him and took his game went home and played street fighter 2 all day...the taco shop that had the SF2 arcade game took a loss that day on....memories..

[Foul Mouth]

they still got one open where im at. they even had a couple of them Blockbuster kiosks around a while back. i knew where 2 of those were at and i knew where like 20 Redbox's are at. Blockbuster got the game fucked up.
