The end of BBV?

[mcmarc]

If you guys keep up with the ihateblockbuster.com website, it is looking like the end for Blockbuster.  Some districts are only keeping ONE store open.  The company lost $20 million during what is supposed to be our best time of year.

Here's what I what like to see...

BBV close
Redbox and BBV Express being forced to raise prices
Netflix to go away

I know the last is not likely to happen, but they are start to tick off a lot of customers.  They are now the kings of the hill, and perhaps nowhere to go but down.

I wonder if we can buy BBV's prp for pennies?

Netflix had 'announced' that they want to go strictly to streaming in the next few years and while this will work well for some, I believe there will be a lot of customers who, for technical reasons, will still want dvds and will be upset by this.

Read the Criterion thread on Facebook when they announced two days ago that they are moving their catalog to Hulu.  These kids are now getting a taste of the digital future...
