Blockbuster closing 300 US stores.

4.7
Well, it may be the end of an era for Blockbuster in the US, as Dish Network have recently announced that they will be closing 300 stores in the near future, which would mean around 3,000 jobs would be lost.

This announcement comes after the UK branch of Blockbuster filed its own bankruptcy, which then lead to 160 store closures out of 500 in the region.

So if you use Blockbuster's services to buy, or rent games; you may want to change your supplier. As time can't tell what will happen with Blockbuster in the future.

Not surprising, Netflix is running them out of business. Especially when renting two movies can cost more than having Netflix for 1 month.

Anyone could have seen this coming. Blockbuster has been a source of slander as of resent years and has been made fun of countless times for not having many customers. South Park is probably the most resent of TV wise to do so. They have been closing more and more stores every year and sooner or later they are going to have to sell it so they dont lose even more money. You never know, maybe they will sell it to Red Box so that they can sell it to some other business to put a Red Box on the outside.

Feet All these places are getting phased out where you can rent a movie in a store. You can do all this online now.


It sucks to see the internet take out all these once popular businesses.
