Great lesson in economics and creative destruction.

Too bad progs are such frightened rabbits that they keep clamoring for the gov't to get involved to save them from actual progress.

The day Dish Network bought them they were done. Dish has just been trying to figure out the best way to close the remaining physical stores and DVD service as they only wanted them for their digital distribution.

I have DISH Network... My parents, five houses down, have DirecTV and when they lose signal in a spinkle, I keep mine through sever thunderstorms... I love DISH. Customer Service is amazing too.

Netflix.

Netflix has nothing. At least not in the way of TV seasons, which is what I usually am looking for. I tried it for a few months but cancelled because I never used it.

That and the movies are old.

LOL WUT?

Netflix has TONS of brand new movies... I remember The Hunger Games being shown on Netflix the same day it released on Rebdox...

Netflix... They also have Redbox online too... Or at least my Playstation 3 does..

We used to do the Netflix routine, because I could watch whatever I wanted on mY PS3.. and Juile could do the same on her Wii... but honestly, after we got past a few series, there was nothing on there that was consistently good (it was getting so bad, the only thing that even had my interest were "B" movies and OLD movies.).

Amazon has the same problem. I'm a PRIME member, but there is absolutely ZERO worth watching on the system unless I want to pay more money for videos. (their Prime movies/tv shows really are really "cult" movies and bottom fo the barrel stuffs)

Crackle (my third service) I watch, but mostly because they pick such off-the-wall titles to watch. (and once in a while will throw up a decent title).

Awe man! Well I like it... Hell the movies update once a month and you're paying the equivalent to two gallons of gas each month to watch many many titles... And if you don't see the title, you can search it, and then they'll match similar shows to it if its still unavailable... Plus you can search actors and it shows you every movie they have with that actor...

Better yet...the new Google..Chromecast. $35 bucks and works with an app for your Iphone. Cheaper and easier to use than Roku.

Blockbuster couldn't compete with DC.

I'm surprised Obama hasn't given them a bailout.

Only "Brick and Mortar" Video Stores still in business sell Porn. Pay cash. No paper record. No electronic record.

My wife and I have been using Netflix and HuluPlus mainly. Currently on the last 3 episodes of Battlestar Galactica. Why does it have to end.

Recommendation: If you don't mind subtitles, visit the foreign section of Netflix. The "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series is one of the best I've ever seen. Just ignore that Bollywood ****.

Actually, my hometown still has a mom and pop. 3 days for $1.50 on DVD and 3 for $2.00 on Blu-Ray. Still does really good business because they get all of the walk-up traffic.

I remember when video stores first opened. The ones around where I lived were Mom and pop organizations and they treated them like clubs. You paid membership fees (like $100/year) to rent movies. Those membership fees slowly went away and then Blockbuster came in and put them all out of business. What goes around comes around, blockbuster.
