Redbox vs Blockbuster (A pointless rant)

The table was set. Blockbuster was going down.

Everyone HATED Blockbuster. You could hear cheering from the streets.

However..................................

The ONLY time I'd normally rent a movie was for a new release that I didn't go see in theaters.

Blockbuster actually had a 30 day advance release on certain companies (I think Sony).

I remember Avatar coming out to Blockbuster, and while people were hoping for bankruptcy, the Redboxes they were circling jerking, would need to wait 30 days for 1-2 copies in a box that 5000 people would check.

I believe Blockbuster actually had advantages over Redbox:
1) Exclusives to quicker releases
2) More Selection (Guaranteed in-stock, etc)

I didn't care to spend $4 over $1, when for $4, I could watch a month sooner and know it'd be in stock when I drive to the place to get it.

Now that we can stream easier it's not as big of a deal, but it was crazy just how bad people were rooting for a company who was providing a superior service.

Also, at myself for a dumbass post. I let the thought roll in my head and needed to vent!
