Did Blockbuster refuse to buy Netflix?
I loved Blockbuster, and I heard that they actually passed up an opportunity to buy Netflix back in the day, which could’ve prevented their demise. Is this true?
Yes. In 2000, when Blockbuster was the titan of the movie-rental industry and Netflix was a scrappy DVD-by-mail upstart, top dogs from both companies met about a potential sale. Netflix's founders offered to sell their company to Blockbuster, and when they mentioned their price tag of $50 million, Blockbuster’s CEO stifled a laugh and ultimately turned them down.
Ten years later, Blockbuster went out of business; that same year, Netflix, by then in the streaming game, brought in over $2 billion in revenue. In 2019, they brought in $20 billion.

Is blockbuster online better than Netflix?
Netflix only allows you to take out 1 or 2 movies at a time and you must wait weeks to return them and get new ones. Blockbuster Online allows you to get movies delivered to you and return them to your local blockbuster if you dont wanna wait for new ones. Blockbuster Online is my choice.
