Not unless they have some fundamental change at the top. They are so far out of the loop they can't even see it. Their idea for digital distribution was to have people come into the store and load a movie file onto a thumb drive. Let me repeat that - you have to GO TO THE STORE to get a digital file. Netflix has been and will continue to crush them.

Big box media stores will soon be as useless as a caboose. I won't miss Blockbuster, especially when they pull crap like the much ballyhooed end to late fees. Instead, they just changed the name and called it a "reshelving fee" :roll: or some kind of corporate euphemism. It's no wonder that they tried to step up sales with items like junk candy.

It's nicely ironic that there's still a place for the little guys like Wild and Woolly and Underground Sounds.
