not gonna lie that looks like a comfy city
There was a blockbuster in a strip mall near me, it went down years ago but the sign is still there.
Is it because Australian internet is so shit video streaming is still inconvenient?
>>57301528
Didn't they die out about 6-7 years ago?

Top kek, it's most likely. I mean, downloading a movie it's going to take a day and 20% of your data cap, you might just pay a buck or two to rent the physical movie.

They could still be replaced by redbox kiosk. I guess they're just 10 years behind technologically yet some how they're caught up or ahead of us socially in SJW crap.

lel
It's still alive in Mexico too, in fact I rented a movie like 2 years ago from there
I miss blockbuster t b h.
My local one only closed at the start of last year. Got a fuckload of cheap games from them, and a few blu rays. The manager said all the stock was going up to swan hill (northwest victoria).
they took down the store where i live but left up the sign for some reason
Holy fucking shit. Blockbuster is one of the few defunct companies i have great memories of. Wish i could be over there to look around just one last time.

How old is that screenshot? Z-Nation is filming its 3rd season now...

Damn I miss renting movies. Good memories. I don't think there's a single video rental shop in my whole city of 800,000 anymore.
I wonder if the next hipster generation will revive video rental as a retro/ironic hobby, like vinyl is now.

>watching movies in shitty quality on netflix instead of buying/torrenting blue-rays
>>57308658
It won't. Vinyl has better sound quality as the music is compressed a shit ton less than mp3 files.
Movies are the opposite because as time goes on, technology improves to make the format better.
>>57303482
We don't even have Redbox kiosks in Canada anymore. If you want a physical DVD you have to buy it at fucking wal-mart.
>>57308658
I live in a "city" of 30,000 and we have a few video rentals.

I haven't seen one in Winnipeg in years. There might be a porno shop left in the ghetto part of town, or like a couple shelves in some shop owned by a chink.
But even all the independent ones closed down as far as I know.

>yet some how they're caught up or ahead of us socially in SJW crap
you're delusional
>>57308900
Porno shops only survived because they sold sex toys and lube, but now that you can discreetly buy your 12 inch double ended dragon dildos online I don't know how they survive.

>australia in charge of streaming internet
>>57301528
Perth still has 9 listed blockbusters stores still.
>>57303188
Nope. I have ridiculously slow internet (even for Australia) becasue I come from a rural town on an island, and I still stream movies with no problem. I have no idea how Blockbuster is still alive. Maybe old people still rent DVDs.
