Blockbuster UK finds buyer
With GAME's troubles of last year, the demises of Blockbuster and HMV left UK high street games retail with worryingly threadbare prospects. The administration process leaves Blockbuster with just over half of the 500 stores it had before, while HMV's high street presence is facing a similar level of cutback. However, both the Telegraph and the Financial Times are reporting restructuring specialist Hilco is close to securing a deal to buy HMV, having taken control of the retail chain's debt.

Man.. I remember when I had gotten home from after my day in elementary school I would head over to my local Blockbuster on my bike, I'd always rent a game then love it and end up buying/keeping it

They should make a Netflix competitor, because that's the only way forwards they're going to make money!

MayaSmurfsM60Iglesias In Los Angeles the closest BlockBusters to my house are gone. It's been 2 - 3 years now. Everyone here has Netflix haha.
I would happily get Netflix instead
I love Netflix but when I used to have a Blockbuster near my house they used to have some movies/shows that weren't on Netflix, which was nice.
Now i just download everything on tpb lmao
to risky now a days with them cracking down on piraters rather than the sites that provide them
