The trendy get movies via Amazon online or iTunes. The majority of the tech savvy have switched to Netflix. The customers that Blockbuster used to lean on the heaviest (and hit the hardest with late fees) have fled to Red Box. Blockbuster just doesn't offer any value that I can discern. Kinda sad to see a huge company wither like they made all those mom-and-pop video stores do ages ago. From what I understand, Wayne Huizinga is a jerk and deserves the financial misfortune.
