It is the epitome of "what do I feel like tonight." There is rarely any advanced planning (needed for NetFlix), and when they plop down for a lazy Friday night of take-out and movies, they want to plop in front of the big screen and not a computer (thus, online is out).<BR/><BR/>But can Blockbuster or other stores really survive if that is the only real customer base?<BR/><BR/>Another thought: the Safeway I go to for groceries has one of those DVD rental machine things. And there is ALWAYS someone there getting a movie. I've seen people come in just to get a movie from the machine and leave sans groceries. And there is a Blockbuster store at the next shopping center over.<BR/><BR/>Maybe other means (like those machine things) will begin to take the place of the brick-and-morter stores when the customer base of "of what is available, what do I want to watch tonight" shrinks to the point where a full store can not sustain itself.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992490958149563644noreply@blogger.com
