Anyone Else Miss Going to Blockbuster Video?

[R=G]

There was also another gimmick everyone used to do..you would have a WACK ass game at home and replace that game in the box and keep the PIFF game. And since certain employees were so lazy, they never called you back or investigated it. It was a great scam...that's how I kept that Legend of Zelda II with the gold cartridge and CastleVania II with the Mourning Star and Flame Whips I loved that fukking game. I never wanted to return it. EVER....haha.

Sequential-access, 480i movies that degraded in quality with each viewing and required rewinding? Nah breh I am good on that.

And what about the first gen DVDs that broke so easily.

Can't believe with all the people that worked in their corporate headquarters, that nobody pressed the idea of buying Netflix and RedBox before things got out of hand They could have been so far ahead of the curve if they accepted that brick-n-mortal was completely out of date.

Loved blockbuster, but I definitely think the charm would have been gone for me as I got older just off the strength that everything is so exposed on the internet. The beauty of blockbuster for me was that it was random gamble of a weekend.
