I am happy to see that awful company suffer. I don't think blockbuster can compete with the price of redbox and netflix.

They went to one day rentals but instead of $1 it is $3 i take advantage of it when there is something I want to see on blu-ray since redbox doesn't carry any near me.

It needs to just go back to $1 a day instead of $2. Also the free codes for every Monday need to come back in. Yeah I wish that were true.. but that is how they make their money.

I happen to be the person who rents the movie on the way home, watches it that night, and then returns it the next morning on the way to work/school. Why can't they come up with something for that scenario? Or maybe they have and I just don't know 'cuz I haven't been in one since Redbox hit my town!

Redbox and Netflix cover everything between them. In spite of my dislike for Blockbuster, I would consider renting from a blockbuster express kiosk if it was convieniently located, same price as redbox and if the redbox kiosks on my way home didn't have the feature. I will likely continue to give redbox first dibs on new releases and use netflix for old releases, tv series and streaming.

The studio makes a product and you as a consumer make a choice on what to do with that product. The studio wants as much money as possible and you want to save as much money as possible. Sometimes you win by getting the movie for $1 or free. Sometimes the studio wins and you go to the theater,buy or download the movie. I can't blame a studio for trying, yet as a consumer I am not prepared to pay $15 a person to see "Avatar." But I am not mad at Fox. However Fox will have to wait a while before they see my money. And trust me, you can NEVER make enough money. The more money you make, the more the person next to you wants some of it. It’s capitalism 101.

Well, considering that I am not a child nor do I speak spanish..... it makes me even happier that the TWO Blockbuster stores that were within 5 minutes of my house are closed for business. They just could not compete with Redbox... I am a very loyal fan of Redbox... I have stood in the rain and the snow to get my movies from Redbox... and then had to swim home with them under my arms (just kidding about the swimming...lol). Serious though, I could care less about Block Buster... I quit using them a loooooong time ago... I LOVE REDBOX AND APPRECIATE THEM!

As long as there is potential for the studio make even more money on it, they will do so. “More than enough” is never enough.
