That sucks. I like them a heck of a lot better than Blockbuster.
We have several in the major area so I'm sure a few are going. Hopefully just the little ones downtown and not the big one near me.

I hope the one in my town does not... I love the the used video game store and they usually have pretty good prices on used DVD's.

They'll have even better prices if they have an inventory blowout sale ;)

Makes me wish the one near me would close so I could add to my collection :p.

The Blockbuster Video near my house ALWAYS has better cheap pre-viewed movies than Hollywood. Just browsing around last night, they had MI:3, Children Of Men, The Departed, and Borat for $20.

The only one here just remodled and doubled their store size. Block buster is way off the main path in the boonies so hollyw vid gets all the rental business around here.

Yes. They had at least a dozen copies of each movie too, if not more.

Both Blockbuster and Hollywood have reduced the number of stores in my area. My city has one of each, but the ones in the surrounding area closed up.

You mean half?

I think he meant half of the four within ten miles, hence, two.

The 2 nearby me closed down, which is a bummer cause like many other people have said they were loads better than blockbuster. Oh well...netflix ftw I guess.
