@MrFluffyThing I'd have to say that our Compass system is utter crap, and I would love it if it died out. I could easily talk the store manager into giving it to me. :D

Also, we have a dead POS terminal as well, so we are limited to 3 terminals to check people out. Our wire racks are falling apart also, and its a shame too. We're one of the "white wall tornado" stores that you likely heard of a year or so ago. Ive been with the company for about 2.5 years now, and I'm not sure if I should ride out the dying horse, or get off while the getting is good. My hours are getting severely cut(sometimes 1 day a week, 3-4 hours) but the job hunting around here isnt all that great either... so I'm alittle worried.

I too am a BlockBuster employee. We got 2 of the Archos 10 netbooks, and we have had them for over a year, haven't sold them at all. We got 3 YouStar devices, and we only sold them after we marked them down to $49.99. We are now selling TiVo SD boxes for $49.99. I feel our store is dying, and will likely be the next one to close in my area. I've recently seen the Blockbuster boxes popping up infront of Speedway gas stations here too.

Then there is the issues with the POS/Inventory system. I think you got some decent systems MrFluffyThing, as we have a few 486/DX2 66Mhz systems, and our timeclock/Teleo/training system is running a Celeron-Socket478 IBM that CONSTANTLY overheats. Our security system is OLD! Its a time lapse black and white tape system thats crappy as hell, and does us no good. Our scanguns have to be beat on the counter sometimes to get'em to work proper. We charge $4.29 for a new release, $1.99 for a old title, $.99 for kids/family, and 4.29 for a old blu-ray title. Games are over $9 with tax.
*end rant*

Any other Current or Ex Blockbuster employees wanna put in their two cents?

One mans trash is another mans treasure.

I buy from GameStop and a local shop called The Game Haven

you really don't understand PalmOS that much, do you? I am a PalmOS and WM6.1 user. they both excel in different fields, but when it comes down to pure speed, PalmOS has WM beat.

he was going for tiny and portable, with roughly the same size as the Wii. The laptop display idea wouldn't work because of that.

Media Center may be gay, but MYTHtv isnt. :D

I agree with daniel s. on this, as the technology in the WiiMote differs from what InternLink's "mouse with a trigger." IF this lawsuit goes through, I can see MANY other companys getting hit with this.

ALSO, what about the Z-trigger on the N64 remote, anyone think of that being pattented to Nintendo? IMO, the trigger on the WiiMote is the same as that.

ok, just got off work, we are getting aprox 50 Wii's in.

Just wanted to give any Columbus, Oh readers a heads up!

Here in Columbus, Oh, at my SWM(yes, I too am an employee,) We have 10 PS3 comming in, unknown for Wii yet, but as soon as I get the info, ill let yall know! And ya, the WM Wire isnt always right.
