They shot themselves in the foot in the UK when they cut the rental of new releases to ONE night from two, and put the price UP to just under £4.00.
Oh, and by stocking crap, but it's hardly their fault.

particular the feel good movies you know a loser gets with more losers and some how they win the championship, and generally succede where alone there failed
but in the real world failing company buys failing company doen't inspire each other to make money. it costs jobs as they cut costs then when the company falls apart there sell bits of the company off cheap.
i blame hollywood cause most films are crap at the moment and those that are good i buy on dvd. it costs me more in man hours (looking for a freetard site that still running and has a decent quality version) than it does to buy the dvd

Perhaps something more like..
1. Struggle
2. Buy Struggling business
3. Asset Strip
4. Cream off generous director's bonuses
5. Liquidate

Anyone remember Divx? Not the codec - the infamous, time limited DVD that CC tried to market? I'm sure BB wants to resurrect that...

Mines the one with the circuit traces on it....

Put two together to make one good one I am pretty sure it doesn't work, but hey it will make the bankruptcy proceedings more efficient. BB is dead in the water due to competition. Circuit City is lost because they fired all the experienced sales staff and now they beat Best Buy in the "we have no idea what we're selling does, or if it's what you're looking for" department. What can it hurt.
Paris because she knows all about regret and doomed mergers.

Well, the good news here is that when they go titsup, that the bargains will be really nice. Imagine being able to pick quite a few disks (music and movies), and a couple of devices to play them on as well. I like that in a sale.
Locally, I'm looking forward to the sale later this summer of the snazzy Northwest Airlines stuff as they strip the gear out of the planes before repainting them in Delta colors. It's been too many years since I bought things when Republic Airlines went under (who can forget their 'double duck fuck' logo?).
