The End is Nigh
The L.A Times reported this past week that Blockbuster is planning on filing for bankruptcy in September. The writing has been on the wall for some time now with the success of Netflix rentals delivered to your home and of course their instant streaming service. Add to this the Red Box in various supermarkets and outlets and it is the end of an era. I only used blockbuster for a span of a few years before I joined netflix for good. During my grade school years I had always used to local video store, literally right on my street, to look for the latest VHS releases. They went out of business eventually and then I switched to Blockbuster and DVD's. Instant streaming is the wave of the future as the less people have to get up and go out to get what they want the happier they will be.
