Comments on: Say goodbye to Blockbuster

With poor results, Blockbuster looks like a company on life support. And according to Don Reisinger, it's time to pull the plug.

What ? Do you think that you can keep a movie or game for as long as you want and not have to pay! There are other people who would like to watch or play. When you become a member do you not read the fine print! Rules do apply in life!
I feel Blockbuster does their best for the times we are in and changes do need to be made once in a while to keep the company rolling.
Let's face it nothing is free anymore!

All of you complaining about the restocking fees are idiots. The library fines you if you keep something too long and you don't even have to pay upfront for that. Don't keep the movie/game for 6 months and you won't get charged. After two weeks they charge you the selling price of the movie, that's just how it is. Geez. Grow up.

I once worked at blockbuster and babies like you are a lot of the reason why I quit (and the fact they claimed they "couldn't" give me a raise, that was three years ago, I think the manager was just a jerk). I used the online service for a long time but just recently switched to netflix, this is because netflix partnered with microsoft so you could stream movies on your xbox360, which I do. It just seemed for feasible to switch to one service rather than have both.
