MS has never been a big money store but like other comments said, the amount of Spider-Man copies we had was a pain in the ass but had nothing to do with the downfall. I left the company before the Hastings acquisition and once I visited the newer layouts, I was pretty concerned about the pricing of the movies skyrocketing and the random novelty stuff you can get at stores like Newbury Comics. It was clear that the cost of adding so many toys to this "store that still has hard copies of movies" was going to take far too much from the bottom line. Looks like it did. Fun fact: Spider-Man 2 copies trade-in value was one penny.Chethttps://heyitschet.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-23401074788082203772016-09-03T22:56:20.464-04:002016-09-03T22:56:20.464-04:00I agree 100%.

All blurays are 70% off of the marked price. I got about 600$ worth of blu rays for 75$ including a couple of new titles like Ride Along 2. Some movies in there I will admit I wont watch more than once or twice but for 2$ a blu ray you can't really beat it.Talal "Perez" Ghoshehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873009024858996448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-60195185178630409652016-06-11T18:16:43.862-04:002016-06-11T18:16:43.862-04:00I think Anonymous may be right.

Now they look like every other mall store. <br /><br />Not EVERYONE is online or wants to download.
