Never heard someone DISS Blockbuster before. For me they have just got better and better, and in fact rental stores are the ONLY places that get better and better. When I was a kid, rentals were for 3 days (including day rented) and new releases were for two days (including day rented), and it was worse at the non-chain rental stores, which all SUCKED because they NEVER had what I wanted, were more expensive, and at times everything in the store was 2 day only. Plus, they were ugly :D.
On the other hand, Blockbuster has maintained their prices and have increased the rental days to 5 days a week, which is something that just wasn't done back in the olden days. No, Blockbuster, if anything, made things MUCH better. However, YOUR local chain might have had better deals. Well, I say if making a chain I'll never go to go out of business is the price to pay for making the ones I have been to realize they SUCK and having a decent rental outlet, then so be it!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
