Blockbuster was still far better than video on demand. You could walk the store and find a movie you had forgotten about. With video on demand, you have to know what you're looking for. I think whiny people not wanting to pay for keeping movies longer than the agreed upon rental period, is what caused this horror of video on demand we now exist in.
