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.

VEVO No one goes to a store to get movies anymore. They either use something like Redbox or some sort of online service like Netflix. That's why Blockbuster is failing.


Not my family, we rent around 3-5 movies a week.

The one near me shut down about a year ago, and there's no other ones close by.
