One disgruntled Blockbuster customer took matters into his own hands when told he could not receive a refund for his PS4 pre-order.
Retro game hunting in the 49th state. On a recent work trip I got a chance to go to Anchorage and see some beautiful site, some great retro game stores and a Blockbuster Video.
This week on Digital Fiasco, hosts Dandr0id and Jack McBastard talk about Gamestop taking a page out of Blockbuster Video's playbook, and the perils of having opinions on the internet.
The days of Blockbuster were more precious than we remember.
I miss game rentals too. Used to do it with every game that my local family owned video store had that I was also interested in. There arent that many options for renting games and demos are hard to find since most companies these days are scared to release demos because they think they will lose money.
I'm in the same boat. I truly miss the days of game rentals. I've seen 3-4 local rental stores actually shut because renting is on the way out.
I had some great times hiring games, seeing if it's worth a buy. Good times now past.
Great piece.
Who doesn't. I would have enjoyed graphical splendor of The Order by now. I'll just have to wait for a price drop it seems.
Bring the torchs and forks!!! lol
Im not surprised Blockbuster refused his refund, they need all the money that can get at the minute, lol.
My friend works at my local Blockbuster and he said they aren't getting next gen consoles in stock at that store, no BF4 or CoD either......hard times for BB, but surely BF4 and Cod would make them a ton of money......? Makes zero sense to me.
Good man, I'd do the same!
Why would you be stoopid enough to buy your console from Blockbuster?
1. I'd be too afraid they would go out of business before the console came out and I'd be out of my money.
2. I'd be too afraid they would go out of business withing the first year of me owning my console and something broke then I'd have refund/repair issues because the store was no longer there.
Blockbuster is still around?
