I often wondered why Blockbuster didn’t try to do something about the competition. Redbox too.

Blockbuster had Redbox-type DVD kiosks for awhile. We had several around here.

Yep. They were reacting and were not proactive. If we look at history the big corporations who try to emulate instead of innovate almost never catch the market. They are top heavy in management and the big guys at the top are too reluctant to make the changes fast enough to catch back up or find a way to get ahead. Redbox had already caught the peoples' trust so it was hard for Blockbuster to break into the Redbox market.
