Blockbuster in particular has managed to display their complete lack of planning, customer consciousness, and marketing 'savvy' in the business they are supposed to be in...content sales and distribution. How long can a sinking ship float? I am relieved to see that others experience such inane business practices from a “”so-called retailer”.

They could easily leave one up there and have the stash in the back.

Great post, Tom. I actually went to a real blockbuster (which happens to be my "corner" video store) recently for the first time in a really long time. I have to agree, the user experience leaves a lot to be desired. My kids are rapidly adjusting to movies being "on the computer" ... I wonder what their kids will think indeed. LOL! Great post, Tom.

And nice job exposing their model to be nearly out-of-date. Holy crap, I hadn’t realized how long it’s been since I’ve been into a Blockbuster…
