ewerk 31584 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Simply another out-dated business model, I'm sure they saw it coming a long way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Had a headstart, could have been first to market with rental streaming and rental by post, but wasted their opportunity. Haven't been in one in years, long term Lovefilm user (I've saved £hundreds and hardly buy any games now as I've no need to). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I was only saying last year that I couldn't believe it was still open after the success and ease of Lovefilm and Netflix and the like. Back in the day (the 90's kids) we were there every weekend getting DVDs out but I really can't remember the last time I was in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6917 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Like HMV their business model is outdated. The Managers should have changed years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
