The last movie stores left standing
As Blockbuster struggles, indie rental shops are fighting to hold on to customers and preserve a vanishing industry. Do you still go to the store to rent movies?
Your Answers
From Frank, Colorado Springs, CO I use Blockbuster online. The only reason I use Blockbuster as opposed to Netflix is the ability to go into the store and exchange a movie I received via mail. Blockbuster used to allow me to exchange an unlimited amount of mailed movies in the store but have since limited it to 5 times per month – based on my subscription. On average I probably do exchange my max of 5 movies but I'm thinking about changing to Netflix to lower my monthly amount.
