Was trying to explain to the grandkids about Blockbuster the other day. How I used to take their Uncle (my stepson) to Blockbusters on a Friday and let him choose a game and a DVD for the weekend and how he would grind all weekend trying to finish the game before having to return it. Of course for many of us here, our youths before Blcokbuster would have been hiring a VHS or Betamax video for the weekend from a local independent video shop. Back in the days when it took years sometimes before films left the cinema and were released on video.
Good times ha. I remember first hitting Blockbuster at about 18 or 19 when my Father went head long into renting and making copies of literally everything. Couple of corner stores and Blockbuster for Vhs. Blockbuster was a little tougher with the anti recording tags etc but there was always a work around . He'd come in 6-8 tapes at once and withing a few years had a library a thousand flicks deep. I do believe that is where I got my initial push into editing and trading fight tapes. And he'd get big pissed when I "borrowed" a couple blanks to transfer to.

Ran across my old original card last year
