BlockBuster Question - Blu-ray Forum

CrabbyAzz · 09-28-2008, 03:55 PM

Our local BB carries few BD's. Even new release DVD's, that I know were also released on BD's, aren't stocked in the BD section. Well, few anyway. Is this isolated to my store or are others experiencing a drought of BD software at BB stores? Please don't suggest purchasing BD's, I have no interest in creating a library. Just wondering what other BB's are doing.

Some are better than others, but most are pretty bad for now. I have two stores near my house. One has tons of BD's for rent, but very little for sale. The other has one shelf for rent and about 6 shelves for sale. It's gonna take a while.

Block Buster is one of the worse places to buy blu-rays.

There's 2 Blockbusters around me. The main one started carrying BR's they have a good selection. The small one next to my house wasn't carrying it because the other one was. Now they've started carrying them now. They have the New Releases on the New Release wall and the ones that've been out for a while have there own section.

That all depends.

If you have a crapload of DVD's to trade in, it's one of the best IMO.

If they are they're totally lower case 'e' evil like you used, as opposed to upper case "E" Evil like Microsoft or Toshiba.

The one by me carry BD..they are pretty good..you can fine the the new release on the actual day .

i think its just isolated cases.

the BB just 5 min drive away carrys very good selection on BD and even BD TV series. (I rented Heros/Prison break BD at BB).

I have Total access, so I exchange in-store and also mail from BB.

$19.99/month. Good price as long as you get to watch 15-20 BDs/DVDs per month.

Damn I forgot you could trade in dvds at BB for store credit, which would be great for me if BB was selling used BD

they should be, keep checking back, I've seen a few used BD's in Blockbusters up here in Canada, I can't imagine that people don't trade them in at Blockbusters down in the States as well.
