Farewell sweat Prince, Block Buster to close all stores in US

[Kyanbu The Legend]

Wasn't sure where to post this. So this seemed like an ideal spot since they sold both movies and games (and I think they sold music CDs too).

Finally, it's the end of an era. After grasping tightly for any semblance of renewed success Blockbuster has finally decided to shut their doors. This past week the company announced that their online mail service, along with all 300 US retail locations and distributions centers will be shut down early January 2014.

However, the company will still retain the Blockbuster brand for use with digital Dish Network services and they're holding on to their vast library of movies. Well, goodbye Blockbuster.. Thanks for helping a kid experience more games by renting, then he ever could have bought on his own. And Thanks for helping me get started in the Video Game Industry. I'd like to take a moment to reflect on all Blockbuster has done for us...

Oh god this is boring, I'm going to go find something to watch on on Netflix.

I have to say, despite Block Buster's shady past, it's a shame to see them (and many more rental stores) go under. Maybe it was the memories of all the trips I took there as a kid. But I had a lot of fond memories of them. Use to love getting their popcorn too. lol

Farewell Block Buster, I've rented a bunch of games from you and bought a copy of starfox 64 from you. I will remember you for the rest of my days in the physical plane. As a 90s kid, it's a shame to see all these old places close down. But nothing lasts forever and everything comes to an end.
