I'm confused. I always thought the used copies on Blockbuster shelves were copies they used to rent, not copies that were sold and returned. I'm surprised Blockbuster would even accept opened returns (and I can't imagine why they would BUY used copies, even cheap, when they produce plenty of used copies themselves).
Though either way, it isn't really a good sign. Either people are returning them in unusually large numbers, or Blockbuster is dumping off an unusually large number of their rental copies.

Usually, their used copies ARE copies they used to rent, that they don't need anymore. Remember, video rental stores would buy sometimes DOZENS of copies of a new release to meet the initial heavy demand, then sell off unneeded copies as rentals slowed down.
What surprises the hell out of me is that someone even FOUND a Blockbuster that's still open! In the Greater DC/Baltimore Metropolitan Area, Blockbuster is EXTINCT, with the sole exception of the Blockbuster Express rental kiosks that compete with Redbox. That's the only thing keeping their name alive out here.
I recently bought the Green Lantern DVD and I watched it yesterday.
Man, I know the movie has it's faults but still I love it.
But... but OMG... the DVD quality... it's just disgusting!
Of the three trailers the first two are video game trailers: Rise of the Manhunters and Batman Arkham City.
The latter is a badly compressed 4/3 240P video downloaded directly from youtube!
Then the video quality of the movie kicks in: pretty inexhistent!
It seems to be recorded from a videotape! Bad colour compression everywhere makes the CGI awful.
I'm sorry to say that but please DO NOT BUY the DVD version! It's just a waste of money!
You can feel no love, no effort and no interest has been put in the DVD.
I rarely splurge on a new Blu-ray, but I this time. I'm quite glad I did. The added footage made the Hector-Hal-Carol triangle feel a bit more important and the scenes on Oa look spectacular on a high-def TV.

Yes it does show tad more and more of his dysfunctional family life... Check out the behind the scenes stuff too. Besides you can see me a few more times in the F-35 part... LOL
