To say this is troubling is a wee bit of an understatement...

troubling indeed, but are you surprised? with netflix, and those red boxes scattered about (of which btw seem to stock fullscreen versions of movies if available, which seems "backward thinking") it was only a matter of time before the brick and mortar felt the heat. once again, and i am REALLY getting sick and tired of typing this, it's the loss of jobs here that hurts the most.

Yeah, Netflix changed the rules and Blockbuster did nothing...just like CC, and here are the consequences.

YEAH!!!!! That will teach them for being so cocky about Blu-Ray!!!!

Sorry, that was really mean, but they deserved that. Now, Bestbuy is the next bag of pucks to go down...

Whats funny, is that I was just talking about this yesterday at work. I heard, that not only will Blockbuster take the NetFlix route. But I heard that they are going to introduce or already had in some places, their version of Redbox titled Bluebox.
