Question: do you miss blockbuster?

mostly a question for nostalgia junkies:

I drove all the way to South Carolina to go to the last Video Warehouse in the South.

I miss brick and mortar video stores, period.

Absolutely. Trying to get as far as you can on a weekend with a game, watching that movie that you missed out on in theaters at home. It's all more convenient now, but it doesn't feel the same

 

[Rice N Beans]

I miss physical locations, and I suppose the presented experience inside.

I don't miss their penny pinching and BS.

 

[Mandarin Duck]

Yes, but even bigger than Blockbuster I miss having limited access to forms of entertainment like movies, music, etc.

I felt like I appreciated them more then than I do now.

I remember getting a PS1 on Christmas and that same day we went to a rental store that was open to rent X-Men vs Street Fighter.

YES!

I still feel there is a place for video rental stores.

Not everyone still has streaming or even wifi

Also not everything accessible

Like if I wanna watch Iron Eagle, Gymkata, American Ninja 3, The Strongest Man in the World (Kurt Russell classic) where can I find those? Cuz they not on Netflix

Not really. When I was a broke 8-year old, it served its purpose tho.

i.e. Much easier to get my folks to rent me Taz Escape from Mars, Tiny Toons Acme All Stars, or Sonic 3 for a random weekend for $5, since they weren’t gon pay full price for shyt that wasn’t an Xmas gift
