Mr_Karate_II 09/18/25 9:37:19 PM #1:	anyone talk about Family Video. It's always Blockbuster this and Blockbuster that. Blockbuster honestly sucked, they never had the 2 for $1 rentals which usually had 100s of titles, charged outrageous late fees, far as I know didn't have console rentals and the game rental prices were more than what Family Video was. Family Video lasted longer too, yes I'm aware that there's one remaining Blockbuster but it's not the same. Blockbuster sucked, yeah I said it. On a Friday night, we went to Family Video instead. It was like $5 for a 5 night game rental which was actually a good deal. Rented many PS1 and PS2 games from there. --- I believe in Joe Hendry!!
