Re: “How will my kids ever learn about late fees and rental protection?”

I have always been faithful to our Blockbuster, mostly because of their convenience and selection. However, a few months ago, I was shocked to go into their heavily trafficked store and find it empty, with "the end of late fees" at its end and all their prices raised. I ended up finding the movie I rented the next week at Wal-Mart for about a dollar more. Haven't been back since.

We don't have cable, and, with a family of six, going to the actual theater is a major treat. As a result, we rely on rentals and DVD purchase A LOT. We've used RedBox quite a bit, but they hardly ever have a new release. We also ventured into Family Video over the summer and enjoyed many a cheap rental...some 2 for $1, some $1...free kids movies...most for at least three days. It was awesome. And then we figured out last month how to use our Wii and get Netflix. And THEN I discovered "Desperate Housewives". I think we might have rented one movie since Christmas.

Still, I hate change, and it would be very disappointing to have NO video store to peruse...and don't forget the temptation to buy the big bucket of microwaveable popcorn and candy for an outrageous amount...even knowing I have perfectly acceptable popcorn in my pantry and can buy the same candy for half the price at the gas station. It's the next best thing to the actual theater! :)
