Blockbuster Stores start closing sale

 
Its started.. Blockbuster stores all beginning to sell off everything at big discounts. So far stores are doing 25% off storewide.. including DVDs bluerays box sets and games (Wii Xbox PlayStation etc). I would wait a bit till the discount goes up higher to really save once the stores start clearing out.

Don't wait. I went in there and all the good stuff is going fast.

Its 25% off of the priced merchandise, but the rental stuff is super cheap. I got blue rays for $5-8.

I went to the one on the mountain today, barely had any movies except the more expensive ones (that were $15 after discount) so id say in a few days the store will be bare

ALL stores in Canada are going under. The ones in the US are fine. I was talking to a BB employee, I forget the tech details but she was telling me that it was initially the US that was loosing money and Canada stores were fine but now Canada stores are closing and US stores are still open. Sucks big time for them.

My housemates and I both took large stacks of 3D Glasses.

We asked how much they were. They didn't know, so we got them for free.

*Has 16 pairs of 3D glasses sitting my room*
