The thing that kills Blockbuster is their own poor decisions. It used to be that you could rent a library DVD for $1.99. Then they upped it a dollar. New releases were a dollar more. Now, all films are $3.99
Seeing as how Circuit City and Best Buy have DVD's on sale anywhere from $5.99 to $8.99 on average EVERY WEEK and how I just noticed ColumbiaHouse.com also has a daily DVD special where you can buy a film for $5.99, why the hell would one want to RENT a DVD for almost the same price?
They blame Hollywood? I'd have to agree but not for the reasons they think. Hollywood is to blame for offering DVD's you can OWN at reasonable prices that Blockbuster can't compete with.
