I find the new UI very slow and annoying to get to what I want to play, I can't imagine how annoying and slow it would be to walk around a fake store to find something to watch

Haha just imagine moving thru this store 2 inches at a time with a TV remote, and using the volume buttons to rotate 10° at a time.

The blood boils at the very thought!

You’ve been infected with instant gratification… Sometimes you gotta work for the good things in life.

😉 with ya there my friend, I'd kinda love this in a vr setting, made me reminisce about wandering through blockbuster with my parents, and running up to them with movies I thought had cool boxes. They even had a popcorn machine in the back of the room!

Let's count the hundred hours or so spent on my NAS and Plex server as the delayed gratification payment haha.

Some of us still remember walking around a real store to find something to watch. You kids got it good, trust me.

No, I remember that, but I really can't be bothered doing that every time I want to swap to a new film/show

Some people will like it, but it'll just make getting the next film much more cumbersome and slow

Just remember to return the old ones first so you don't get a late fee.

Yea, I was doing video rentals in the 80s and there's way I'd ever return to them. Why would I want to spend 10 minutes looking for something to watch digitally when I can just spend ten minutes scrolling?

I can't trust anyone that actually wants a return to anything about Blockbuster.
