If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be obsolete just ask Blockbuster. The one time giant of the movie rental industry is now running a distant second to a little thing called Netflix. Their fix? They may start renting games as part of their media-by-mail programming. This is according to an email aConsumeristreader received that stated customers would “be able to choose from over 3,000 different games, including many popular new releases.”
When this was brought up to a Netflix representative the idea was flatly rejected for that service. A rep stated that, “Movies are perennial. A great movie from 1972 is still a great movie but who wants to playMadden ’95?”
Would you ditch Netflix if Blockbuster offered up games?
