[QUOTE]Blockbuster has revealed that since its announcement last week the Xbox One has broken all previous pre-order launches in Blockbuster’s 24-year history.
“We are delighted by the huge number of pre orders that we have received so far for the new Microsoft console,” the retailer’s head of games James Morton stated.
“At Blockbuster, we have a fantastic array of adrenaline-fuelled console games for sale or rental. Our expert staff know gaming and they know consoles and these pre-orders are testament to our customers’ trust in us as a leading gaming retailer.
“With Sony releasing the PS4 in the near future, the next few months are going to be an exciting time for our staff and customers at Blockbuster and we can’t wait to hear more details from both Sony and Microsoft at the E3 Expo next month.” [/QUOTE]

I used to work at Blockbuster and got laid off when they were going bankrupt. Wtf?
It's Blockbuster UK guys. They're still fairly active, or at least the two near me are.
Just because the internet hates something doesn't mean the soccer moms and dudebros do.

its not about hating something, is about buying a bad product.
Their loss.
Kinda seems like something the Onion would produce considering the irony of Blockbuster being a failing rental store and the Xbox One clambing down on that.
Most people didn't watch the reveal and don't follow gaming news. All they see is "NEW XBOX, PREORDER NOW!!!" and buy it so they can play CoD or to keep their kid quiet.
Probably just a marketing thing. "Oh hey so many people are preordering out Xbox one! (At blockbuster) so go buy it!!!! "

Yeah people hate it because it's a bad product.
I didn't realize blockbuster was still in business somewhere in the world. but whatever, at least some people really like the Xbox One.
I pity the morons who buys the XBOX One. They are seriously being ripped off by Microsoft.

i dont agree. Xbox one is a shit product, and still people go zombie mode and buy it?
whats to come then? if all the advantages of the ps4 arent doing a thing in sales, they can just match
the xbox in shittery and we will get more and more bad products with time with less control over it and
more like purchasing a service.
If people dont inform themselves before buying, they can shove colored shit up their faces and say its
chocolate.

okay so maybe the Xboxone isn't for any of us, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was a large market for it outside of more hardcore gamers

11/10 from ign for deepest storyline

Yea, I know right? Sure Blockbuster went bankrupt, had to be bought up by DISH, and then had to sell off its UK subsidiaries in 2013, but I'm sure all the comments about the company falling hard are just internet hate.
[QUOTE=The golden;40814594]And what exactly are those records? 50 consoles? It says nothing in the article, which leads me to believe that it's just sensationalist bullshit.
Nobody uses Blockbuster anymore. Most of them have closed down.[/QUOTE]
I go to Blockbuster for movies all the time, even though I do less now that they raised their prices (lmao).
