You missed the most important part of Netflix killing Blockbuster. In 2000, Blockbuster CEO John Antioco was asked for $50 million to buy Netflix. Antioco, thinking that it was a "very small niche business," ended the negotiations and didn't buy Netflix. Today Netflix is worth over $30 billion.

[@ARCWuLF]

There are three reasons the PS2 outsold the Dreamcast, and they aren't mentioned in the video: 1) Backwards compatibility with the PlayStation. A huge library of popular games to offset the (quite frankly pathetic launch library) was a driving force of the PS2. 2) DVD. The PS2 was a video game machine that could play DVDs, and cost around $300 when most standalone DVD players cost over $200. 3) Timing. The PS2's price, features, and release date were announced just before the Dreamcast launched, killing any momentum Sega's system had. Now, I loved the Dreamcast, but the only way that the system could have competed with Sony was to get ahead of them with online gaming, but the true online capability of the Dreamcast wasn't ready for consumers until the PS2 had already launched, assuring Sega's eclipse from the hardware market.

[@mukunddhar6657]

And the fact that it could be turned into a PC.

[@hydrolito]

I bought DVD player that was also a VCR for less than $50. Only early on were DVD players over $200.

[@apple_m2_delight]

You also forgot the fact that sega pretty much had its reputation gone down the toilet. Because of years of messing up, Sega is no longer being taken seriously

[@ARCWuLF]

@@apple_m2_delight In my experience, working at a game store at that time, that never really entered the conversation; the Dreamcast at its release was so far ahead of everything else on the market (the original PlayStation and the N64) that you only really had to see it to be impressed. Even after the PS2 launched my boss would showcase some Dreamcast games that would make skeptics into believers. A great example was the Dreamcast exclusive "NFL2K" series, which was superior to PlayStation/PS2 "Madden" series in every conceivable way. For my "on the floor" experience, the DVD player inclusion drove more new PlayStation customers while the promise of PSone backwards compatibility (a mind-blowing concept among console games of the time) kept old PlayStation fans coming back rather than the PS2's pathetic starting lineup of games.

[@ARCWuLF]

@@hydrolito Yes, early on when the PlayStation 2 launched. Please pay attention.

[@TiberiusTormentia]

What I find to be an interesting omission (and I doubt if I'm the first one to comment on this) is how the mp3 digitally compressed downloadable music file pretty much destroyed music retailers like Tower Records. There's an entire generation of kids, today, in their mid to late teens, the majority of whom have never walked into a music store, in their lives, and purchased a piece of recorded music on a physical format of any kind. When you lose the kids, well, that's a record store's target demographic and core market.

[@willhuey4891]

[@mrnocal]

I miss the old record stores. I'm 53 and used to love browsing through them, looking at the album covers and such. CD's kind of killed the vinyl records and the record stores adapted, but I agree that digital has pretty much killed the record stores. I miss the liner notes and album art.

[@deadlymagecz4186]

To be completely honest, basically any company that is currently somewhat successfull in making phones destroyed BlackBerry. BlackBerry just couldn´t keep up with the technology and their products quickly became outdated.

[@xmr323]

they just released a new and possibly final phone

[@deadlymagecz4186]

Yes, but the inability to step up their game cost BlackBerry a lot, while the followers have adapted to the market, BlackBerry was doing their own think, targeting too small range of customers, then ultimately being left behind. I might not have BlackBerry myself, but I have a friend who has one, and I seriously would never want a change from my quite cheap Android phone. And trust me, I write a lot. By the way, I also hate Apple.

[@XC777]

It's not that they couldn't keep up. It's the fact that Blackberry refused to step away from their principles. Blackberry was seen as a business phone and they targeted business people so when the iPhone came out and more and more phones were moving to touch screens Blackberry thought they had nothing to worry about because they thought they would always have their target consumer. They stayed with their "all business" model and phones these days are more so a source of entertainment (even more than a form of communication) and you're not going to be entertained by a blackberry.

[@adrenalinejunkie8374]

Awwwww i miss block buster..... so many memories. :'(

[@tdp4playa412]

yeah it was both netflix and redbox that killed blockbuster because netflix had movies and shows on your own tv they switched from video rental to television and they had the concept of just paying the membership and watch a whole selection of movies and tv shows for free while blockbuster you had to pay for every single thing you see

[@thehorrorhound6575]

Ellie5621 Ellie5621 look up family video. It’s the largest movie/game rental chain in the US and there’s over 700 stores nationwide there’s 20 in my state alone. In 2016 there was a thing on the news “family video, America’s last rental chain” and I’ve been going ever since, the place is always packed, soooooo many movies and games to choose from they have like 6 or 7 different console titles available including PS4, Xbox one, and switch. They partnered with Marcos pizza so every single one has a pizza shop connected to it and you get discounts on games and movies with your pizza too and if you order on the app they deliver the movies and games with your pizza so you don’t even have to leave the house.

[@theyiannosgames5596]

Becoming a video game rental service. That would have saved the company

[@Ash-uo8sp]

They did, but when Netflix shipped out their billionth DVD in the early 2000s, they decided to end that subsidiary entirely

[@MyBelgianAzzy]

As the person who posted before me said, I believe Blockbuster did in fact try to make a similar service before they gave up the ghost. I don't recall the name of the service, but I believe it was something along the lines of Blockbuster sending you three DVDs in the mail, which you would mail back at your leisure in prepaid sleeves, and then they would send you the next three on your list that you would create online.

[@SpongicX]

At least Family Video is a video rental chain that's still hanging in there, especially for small towns.

[@ORLY911]

+SpongicX Yeah Im glad we have one here too, a lot of games i want to try, its oft the only option to try games as demos and online rental services for games are very limited and very pricey.

[@DareToBeDeviant]

+SpongicX Just barely. Only some really old and obscure titles are still available or something recently released. People never return the one you want, it get broken and never replaced, or they just don't care. Have to rely on Netflix slow-ass mailing service. ~_~

[@skylerpowers8871]

+SpongicX Family Video is only hanging on because the owners own other things to like pizzerias and so on where the get most of their money. The Family Video in my town is pretty popular. They are always running out of the new releases and a customer is always there. We used to have a Blockbuster and Hollywood Video too but they both went out of business, the first being replaced with a nail salon and spa and the second with a cigarette store.

[@skylerpowers8871]

+DareToBeDeviant Man, your Family Video must suck then. We have all of the new releases, a nearly new section, a discount section, a kids section, and a favorites section. They'll also put up seasonal sections too (Halloween, Christmas, etc)

[@DareToBeDeviant]

Skyler Powers Oh ours has all the above, just... not as pleasant. Staff picks are a hit-or-miss. It's nice to have the upcoming holiday selection even if they do only have one copy of a popular flick. It's awful they don't bother to replace lost/stolen ones.

[@jimf4022]

Rich Brown If I don't have to run to a Kiosk, I would be ok with it - I haven't checked out if it has an online rental system.

[@richbrownmedia]

Dirty Water don't misunderstand me. I'm much more a fan of Netflix and Amazon Prime than I am of Redbox. Seems like half the time when I get a Redbox disc, it's scratched and skips over the most inopportune parts. Streaming media is still far superior to discs. I'm just saying that for right now, Redbox has probably taken more of those people who once visited Blockbuster as their customers.

+Lydomina True. Broadband and the internet in general killed AOL. Remember, AOL started back in 1985 (as Quantum Computer Services) and became America Online in 1989. Back then, there was no internet so, if you wanted to get info or chat, you had to use AOL or CompuServe or GEnie or Prodigy, etc. After the internet took off and, more importantly, after broadband came in, AOL was obsolete with it's dial-up.

That's not at all true. Torrents are still pretty rare, and 15 years ago, torrenting was far less common (especially considering the BitTorrent protocol is only 15 years old). There is no evidence to suggest torrenting had a significant effect on the decline of Blockbuster.

I agree, the movie selection was MUCH better

[@DrHaydentheFunny]

Especially if you live outside the United States. Growing up, I had 2 video rental stores nearby, with a lot of good movies. Now with Netflix, since I live in Canada, I have limited options on Netflix because the movie selection is like 10% of the US selection.

[@brittanyr9471]

Really is a shame, I used to love renting games from them as a kid. At least in the US blockbuster definitely could've survived. They knew about Netflix's plan and continued to snub their nose at the idea even as it was driving them into the ground. They replaced late fees with other fees, massively started cutting corners and reducing their selection. If it hit them by surprise I would understand more, but the fact that they didn't react when they were still on top is insane. They tried putting out something similar to Redbox, but even that was flawed because you couldn't return to any location. They sat on their hands wayyy too long while other companies destroyed them.
