    Scored at Blockbuster.

    Usually the 10 dollar games are C games but this store had Dead Space, Tomb Raider Underworld and Afro Samurai for 10 bucks. I couldn't believe it. I checked their site and EB Games and these are supposed to go for 17 bucks.

    Nice!

    Score. I may have to check back. Too bad all of the video places close to my house are closing. The Blockbuster and Hollywood video within a mile are both gone now.

    The end of an era perhaps. The major rental stores have been around for 25 years.

    You have to hit them early of course. My brother and I found out about it a little late as we were expecting the place to be open one night when that was our last chance to rent a movie in our area since the Blockbuster nearest to us went out of business.

    I never realized there were so many bad movies out there. The store was still mostly full. Of nothing I wanted to buy for 4 bucks. Shelves and shelves of them.

    Nice score.

    Too bad I swore long ago to never give Blockbuster another dollar of my money. Doesn't surprise me at all that they're going out of business.

    Just that one store, I don't think the chain is.

    Closed down a lot of their stores in the last few years. The chain as a whole is likely to declare bankruptcy soon, as they've been circling the drain for quite a while now; Netflix is really crushing them.
