Not that there's much in the way of other options. I don't have a video store within half an hour of my house and I got burned too many times with Redbox.

So now what is going to be the characteristic "Blockbuster supporter's" response to this news? It always seems like at least few of the posters on here always have some sort of rebuttal to the latest doom-and-gloom announcement regarding Blockbuster's business.

So, now the stores are still going to stay open because Dish wants to use them for ______________ ..... ?
