Blockbuster Inc. was founded in the USA, Dallas, Texas to be precise. The founder was David Cook, and he started the business in nineteen eighty five. Blockbuster were relatively unknown in the UK, until they bought the 'Ritz Video' rental service, the market leader in the UK. Blockbuster renamed all the Ritz stores to Blockbuster, and became by far the largest retail chain of movie rental shops.
Blockbuster has recently run into financial problems, in 2002, 2003 and 2004, the company lost over one billion dollars in each of those years. Blockbuster shops stock more copies of the latest movies, only one in four movies are stocked after it's first year of release.

Blockbuster rental store first launched in the UK in the early 90's. For all the years i've using them I've never had any problems. Because i live in a village around 10 miles from my local town I decided to see what their new website rental service was like. I decided to use their free two week trial to see what it was like. I found the Blockbuster website easy to use and navigate, with each film containing a useful description and a star setting. This was where people say how much they enjoyed the movie by giving it a star rating being 1-5. Pretty much like this review system. When you have found what you want you simply click on the button to add to your list. Once you have created the list you want you simply go through the ordering process like with any other shopping service. The dvd then comes in an envelope with you then simply re-use to send back. Nothing could be easier, and overall the service has been a big time saver for me. The only downside is sometimes on a wim i want to rent a dvd, and with this service you have to wait next day, which is sometimes too long a wait :).
