I'm 31, and severly miss the mom and pop video store experience. Block-Buster (and the Hollywood video-Chains) were okay (Hollywood being the better of the two), but a little too aniseptic for me at times.
While I never had problems with Hollywood, Blockbuster often screwed up my late fees, didn't have a lot of the obscure stuff I was into, and were known to have "edited" copies of some films.
As it is, I've been a netflix subscriber for about a year and a half, and still enjoyed Hollywood video before it went under--Blockbuster was off my radar years ago.
What I'm waiting for are two things--V.O.D. to merge into Netflix's streaming and renting site, and Netflix to open up physical chains in some large city areas.

Redbox...I'm not so fond of, but Netflix has TONS of older and VERY obscure movies. Iv'e also noticed that once I've put something on a que that's not in stock, it eventually shows up.Jarrid said:Erana said:No no noooooooo.
What do people have against getting mail-in movies and games and being able to go to the store and get more whenever they want?
Redbox has an atrocious lack of selections; it saddens me to find out how popular this is.
Furthermore, Redbox never has anything older than a few months. If Blockbuster goes down, we all miss out on classics and forgotten gems. I seriously doubt Netflix would carry obscure titles from years back or anything that wasn't a "hit."
