The Perils of Blockbuster, Netflix, Amazon and Walmart

[Alex O'Donnell]

Yet again I have fallen victim to advances in market. Last week I
swung by our local video store to grab some disks for weekend usage.
Alas, closed down. The last few months has been misleading, they were
increasing stock, and were more than able to cope with my video
habits, though they still lacked on the exotic tastes. Having said
that they had about 1/8th of the store dealing in Foreign (full rack
per major film producing country) and Anime.

Now I have a choice of a 5 mile roundtrip to Blockbuster (at $4:25 per
gallon, up 15c from Friday, aint happening) and Netflix.

So Netflix, you may have my $20pcm, and I will quit buying DVD boxed
sets on the grounds that Netflix I can rent them and see them at my
pace anyway.

Disgruntled about lack of local services, pleased by final impetus to
use vast nationwide resources of Netflix.
