Say goodbye to Blockbuster [CNET]

Posted by 4season on November 2, 2007 at 21:32:28:
Coincidently, I stopped by the Blockbuster near the office as I have in the past, looking for news on when I'll be able to rent Blu-Ray movies there. I got a trainee who had been there a week, and she didn't have a clue what "Blu-Ray" was, thought it was a movie title! I tried to explain, but it was pretty clear to me that this wasn't something she had seen around the store, or anywhere else. Hmmm.

Alas, I don't have a handy way to rent high-def locally anymore: The big Hollywood video "library store" abruptly closed, and with it, my sole source for Blu-Ray and HD DVD rentals short of Netflix and the like. The local independent rental shop probably has even more variety, but to date, no high-def.
