This is so strange to me. I guess people enjoy being ripped off and getting less and less value for their money.

Blockbuster had new releases and a handful of classics. One store probably had .01% of the volume of titles on Netflix. If they even had that many.

But now no one has all the new major releases, so in that regard it's a worse experience.

I also remember they had the shit knockoff movies next to the real ones to fool Grandma into getting you that "Deformers movie you like".
