Around 2003 or so, I once had a long list of movies I wanted to rent, and I always thought of going to Blockbuster to rent them. Then I decided to try out Netflix in 2004, and saw that I could knock out my list a lot quicker with it. So I've stuck with them ever since, although I didn't swear off Blockbuster. I'd still rent from the stores every now and then, and eventually had to stop once they started closing, and the stores closest to me all closed down.

I'm still renting DVDs from them to this day, even though my queue isn't as large as it would get in the earlier years. I'll stick around until the end anyway. What's another five months? Besides, Gamefly is actually renting out DVDs now, as well as Blu-rays and 4Ks. Video stores are a thing of the past, but the libraries even rent out movies.

For those feeling nostalgic, they can download their rental history up until October 27th, which is when they'll also continue to accept returns.

Here's a link to their FAQ about it.
