    I don’t know if the US is the same as the Australian one, but I havn’t been to Blockbuster since hiring Return of the King in 2003. This is no surprise. They need an online movie service.

      You make over 14 grand? That’s probably the lowest price I’ve seen a new car at in the last decade.

    Google “blockbuster video complaints” and marvel at what went wrong. They should evolve into a debt collection service. By the long list of complaints they have no idea of genuine customer service and like a hire gun they are quick to the trigger. No doubt the Australian arm will follow quickly due to similar practices. no sympathy here. I’ll help seal shut the doors and kick them in the as* on the way out.
