Blockbuster near me only closed last March, not quite a year. Reading Wikipedia it sounds like some stores in the US are still open.

Reading Wikipedia it sounds like some stores in the US are still open. there were some franchisees who bought the rights to continue using the name (which is just good business sense, IMO, if you're making money) but as a corporation with several stores in every city it collapsed a couple years ago |

I REALLY hope that this doesn't affect Xtra Vision over here. It's the only place in town where we can get new copies of Blurays.
