BlockBuster West Saint John ( Controlled Shut Down )

So yeah, hear on the radio today that the West side BB will be shutting down mid june. So decided to go in and ask a few questions. As of tomorrow there will be no more renting and 30% off just about everything in the store. Depending on how well or not well everything sells they will jump it up to 50%. Heres hoping to get some ps3 and wii games dirt cheap.

Hopefully the Blockbuster near me shuts down, so something useful can take it's place. Seriously, it's a plaza with 10,000 BANKS and a BB..

Sorry, I have no BB love
Sucks for the people who still rent though...

Re: BlockBuster West Saint John ( Controlled Shut Down )

Can't say I'm surprised their shutting down, I mean does anyone really psychically rent movies any more these days? I might stop by there and check out if anything's on sale, since there's one a five minute walk away from where I am.
