This is what I wrote in my first Blockbuster post:
"It may not be as pretty or easy to use as a Redbox, but when Blockbuster Express movies are free, I can set aesthetics aside. It seems like Blockbuster is putting out codes for free $1 movies left and right. Could it have something to do with their struggling business?? Whatever the reason, I say, "Thank you!""
Then later in September:
"Honestly, I'm having a little trouble figuring out how Blockbuster is making any money with all of the free rental codes they put out. Just today, I received another one by e-mail. It was a message telling me that I deserved a free rental. Really? Do they not have a system that sees that all of my recent rentals have been free?? Anyway, I'll gratefully, if confusedly, take it."
Well, unfortunately for Blockbuster Express, I was right to question.
In an e-mail message to account holders, which I received this evening, it was explained that Blockbuster Express has sold out to Redbox and will discontinue business within the next few months.
So prepare to say, "goodbye," to those awkward blue boxes. I guess you'll just have to settle for paying $1.00 a night at Redbox instead of $3.00 a night at Blockbuster Express... ;)
