They shoulda made a move on Netflix right when idea dropped The sun don't shine foreva.

 

[So UnThotful]

i wonder if they are gonna have a last day sale

 

[The Bilingual Gringo]

Never liked Blockbuster only because they took away Erol's, that was my first spot w/ the rental game.

I figured they had gone away years ago, haven't seen a store in forever.

They actually had a chance to buy Netflix in 2000 for about $50 million, but they decided not to. Oops. What could be said that already wasn't said. Blockbuster and thanks for making many of my Friday nights awesome.

We are looking at the end of physical media as we know it. At this rate of technology evolution, the gaming console as we know it will disappear. Going from physical to digital media is just an amazing process to witness, step by step.

I got a feeling Gamestop is gonna get theirs the gen after the next...

Oh believe that shyt is gonna disappear.
