American video-chain Blockbuster saw an opportunity to enter into the Hong Kong market, and entered into negotiations with KPS's receivers Ernst and Young to buy their operations.Blockbuster re-opened 15 out of 38 former KPS stores by 16 February 1998,
 and re-employed 145 former KPS staff.KPS members were given special offers to join Blockbuster, but the video pre-paid coupon system was not retained.
