Blockbuster UK finds buyer
With GAME's troubles of last year, the demises of Blockbuster and HMV left UK high street games retail with worryingly threadbare prospects. The administration process leaves Blockbuster with just over half of the 500 stores it had before, while HMV's high street presence is facing a similar level of cutback. However, both the Telegraph and the Financial Times are reporting restructuring specialist Hilco is close to securing a deal to buy HMV, having taken control of the retail chain's debt.

Whoever buys over Blockbuster are idiots, their whole concept is terrible. I signed up to their online rental as well, and it's so run down I thought it was 1998 again

Movie rental is pointless, you can stream them online these days and it's what most people resort to. I've always loved to rent games though, but I just use Lovefilm. I can get 2 discs out at a time, for as long as I want at just 12 p/m which also includes online streaming and dvd/blu ray rental, which is cheaper than Blockbuster for 3 days!
