The Death of Video Rental Stores

[patface1979]

Over the years I used to go to Video Stores like West Coast Video, Blockbuster, and Hollywood Video but over 27 years of my life I've seen most of them going out of Buisness and shutting down Stores. What could be the Cancer that is destroying these Mecca's of hard to find movie's I'll tell you Redbox and Netflix these two deadly viruses causes more video stores to close there shops for good faster than Wal-Marts and Best Buys combined recently another Blockbuster in my Neighborhood has shut down it sickens me because I used to love going to that store and buy there used copies of DVD's and Blu-Rays for $9.99 and $14.99 I also knew a friend there who got me the posters of great horror movies for $2.00 a poster now that fine store has locked up for good. Now I go to The Video Store on Durham Road for my Videos they have a great price on movies plus they can order it for you if they don't have it! The Video Store has been around for 30 years but I'm afriad that this store will be the next victim of The HIV know as Netflix and Redbox. I'm just wondering if all Video Stores around the U.S.A. will die in the next 10-20 years or will Redbox and Netfilx will die from there own monoplolization. So the next time you order something from Netflix or rent from rent from Redbox you are smoking a cigerrete that killed many fine video stores in your area!

This is my first political view on something please leave a comment on this and tell me how you feel on this subject and I will try to anwser it!

This is why I hate technology. I love Netflix, but I've mentioned in my reviews that I loved to stroll around Family Video as a kid, looking at the horror films I couldn't rent. It's memories like that things like Netflix and Redbox can never match. Also, people complain about going back and forth to the video store to exchange for movies, but then they rent from a damn kiosk that makes you return it the next day.
