Blockbuster closing 300 US stores.
This announcement comes after the UK branch of Blockbuster filed its own bankruptcy, which then lead to 160 store closures out of 500 in the region.
So if you use Blockbuster's services to buy, or rent games; you may want to change your supplier. As time can't tell what will happen with Blockbuster in the future.

Ankoku Well with netflix and gamefly and steam. OF course people don't want to go out and get things anymore. It kind of shows just how lazy we are as people.
Yeah you've got a good point.

Pretty sure blockbuster has been dead for years. Ever see the South Park episode in blockbuster the place is so out of date ghost live in the stores.

MimzImmortalTechniqueSovietRussia Companies like Gamestop, block buster, etc. Will be outdated within the next decade.
I don't think that would be happening to Gamestop at all but block buster defiantly.
It depends. If everything is purchased online, or you buy a game and install it. Gamestop would be forced to close locations. They make money from you selling them games, they take a game from you for 5$ and sell it for usually a 15$+ profit.
Without that advantage, Gamestop would close because profits from selling new games would be not enough to keep all stores open.
I used to work for GameStop and trust me when I say that even though used games is a big part of their income, they make crazy money out of just new games. A lot of children (the majority of gamers) don't have access to credit cards or are allowed to buy stuff online and the majority of the gamers prefer to have a hard copy of the game.
GameStop isn't going anywhere, on the other hand they keep spawning everywhere.
