I went down to rent a movie today for my daughter and was shocked to see Big Yellow signs all over the Blockbuster building. They are closing the local store, everything was on sale.

It's not a good sign when you see a movie rental place closing.

I'm going to have to switch to an online company again!


Bee Bop Bee Bop!

I've seen the same thing many places. Where I live, Blockbuster has been one of the last to survive, but it's not looking good. I think Red Box and the Blockbuster kiosks are the future, in addition to getting movies through the internet and television networks.

Yep I am seeing the same. I don't care much for redbox ~ they never have the newest movies (think it's like 28 days after they are released). We have no blockbuster kiosks in the area. I wonder if they will put some in your area since your local store is closing.

A lot of the Blockbusters in my area have long closed. There is still one that I know of that is open. I am not sure if they are going to entirely close and just do the home delivery thing or not, but I would imagine that they don't have much in-store business anymore.
