They've put countless individual stores out of business over the last 20+ years, so now they can feel the heat. Netflix is cheaper, easier, and has an unbeatable selection with a growing list of streaming choices. Purchasing a disc is a reasonable alternative in many cases to renting.
That said, I hope that the price of a Netflix membership is kept in check if Blockbuster goes under, and when Hollywood Video folded the film business as a whole was affected. Despite my dislike of Blockbuster I hope they stay around.
