Blockbuster, the video rental store, announced that it has started selling games and consoles at all of its U.S. stores, according to the Industry Standard.
The funny thing is that I thought all Blockbusters did that. I remember buying Super Metroid at my local Blockbuster when it was sold out everywhere else, but I guess, the company is putting more emphasis on that side of the business.
Should the might Gamestop be concerned? Well, not right now, I don’t exactly equate Blockbuster with video games. On my list of stores, they’re way down with the likes of the Ashby Station swap meet and those funky mom-and-pop stores you see in San Francisco.
