So did blockbuster. You could even rent consoles at blockbuster. But not porn and they put local rental shops out of business so fuck them, I’m glad they’re dead.
I actually worked at blockbuster on 9/11. I was in high school. They made me and this other girl come to work because they refused to close for the evening. Awesome
Was it a quiet shift or were people renting movies to distract the kids from the horrors in the living room tv?
Literally no one came
My local blockbuster didnt have games until a year before it closed down. I would say I missed out but yeah.
They were often franchised so whoever in your local community bought a blockbuster franchise decided games weren’t worth it (dumb)
