There are rumors flying all around the retail front that Blockbuster is looking to purchase Circuit City.  Both retailers have been struggling to stay relevant in the retail market.  Blockbuster is losing to Netflix and Circuit City is losing to Best Buy.  Do they really think that merging the two together will solve all of their problems?

Netflix is a really cool company.  If you rent movies, it's a great service.  The movie you want is always in and they usually mail you the new movies within days.  The Blockbuster stores are stale and need a face lift.  Not to mention...don't you hate when they don't have your movie in?

Circuit City has been getting worse in price and customer satisfaction.  The sales people don't know much about the products they sell and the stores look like they are stuck in 1998.  Electronic stores not only have to have good prices...but they need to have a hip store.  The sales people also need to be better trained.

Only time will tell what will happen in this possible merger.  We will let you know if we hear anything.
