Our buddy Jason Clark wrote a few weeks back about how Blockbuster was annoying their customers once again by raising prices a few bucks and in some cases, many, many bucks.

Well, that publicity wasn’t great, but today’s problems aren’t helping either.

As of 1:00 AM EST on January 8th, the Blockbuster Online site has been down for almost an entire day. They have a little notice up that says it will be back soon, and they’re sorry, yadda, yadda, yadda.

I saw this news from Mashable tonight, who also report that they could be having some big time problems over there, not just a site outage.

It’s hard to imagine huge websites like Blockbuster.com in this day and age being down for 24 hours or longer. It happened last year for a long period of time, but that was related to rolling blackouts in California.

No, this is another problem.

The hilarious part of this whole story is that their stock finished up 8 cents on the NYSE at the Monday closing bell.

Might need to start looking into some other online DVD rental services.

All of this begs the necessary, but lame question:

“It’s 1 AM…do YOU know where your Blockbuster Queue is?”
