[quote name='ragnar14']Rogers is closing piles of stores. Haven't you noticed? The 3 Rogers' I used to pop into all closed up over the last couple of months (I haven't even gone to the current sales due to not knowing where they are now). In the USA Blockbuster has filed for bankruptcy and is closing up stores, but that isn't happening in Canada.[/QUOTE]
Sorry, I should have put /sarcasm at the end of my post.
I realize everything that's happening, but realistically neither company is doing that well in the rental business. Simply put, video rental stores are doing poorly period. Just because Blockbuster Canada hasn't declared bankruptcy doesn't mean it won't happen very soon (I estimate 12-18 months, unless they change their business model drastically).
Let's face it, between the two companies which one would you say has a more diverse range of services and products? If Rogers dropped out of the video store business, they have plenty of eggs in other baskets...
Enjoy getting deals now while they last. Video stores are going the way of the 8-track, full-service gas station and shoe shine boy.
