less because the disadvantage to Blockbuster is the same reasons I hate shopping at the stores. They focus almost exclusively on big name movies, and devote very little time into obtaining even a few copies of any movie even remotely controversial. The last time I looked, American Movie was mixed in with softcore porn under the “special interest” category. And this is somehow fitting. Intelligent film viewers have as much importance to blockbuster as 16 years old who get off on women in bathing suits. Their selection both in store and online will be limiting and the quantities of independent film will be quite low.

Probably less. Now that there are no late fees, nobody brings the movies back on time. So if a new DVD is released on a Tuesday, I don't have a chance in hell of renting it for at least a couple of weeks. I mostly use Blockbuster now to buy used DVDs, and rely on NetFlix to rent.

I live in a small town and give my business to locally owned video rental stores. We have a BLockbuster in my town too, but they only carry the newest, big-name movies...sometimes, I like to rent older movies/rare movies, and the local video stores usually carry those over Blockbuster. Also, local videostores are a lot cheaper ($2-3 versus $5-6 at Blockbuster). You can almost rent 2 at the local store for the price of 1 at Blockbuster. You can't beat the friendlier service, the price, and the variety.

given how their online rental thing comes with 4 in-stores, plus about 22 movies a month on their 3 out plan for $17 .. it really makes zero sense to be renting at $5 a piece. At that price, you might as well consider buying it.

2 weeks in the past u grew to become interior the 1st action picture then rented 2 extra yet did no longer say which you had back them yet, to me it feels like this is the subject. you may in user-friendly terms save your video clips and extra 7 days w/o being charged restocking costs or the full purchase cost of the movies. you're being charged $sixty six for the two video clips you rented and have not back. once you come them (quickly!) you will in user-friendly terms be charged $a million.25 "restocking fee" for each previous due action picture. After 30 days the movies are formally yours and you pay the $sixty six. call and ask what precisely you're being charged for, they are able to look it up and enable you understand each thing intimately and characteristic them clarify the "no previous due costs" coverage or basically study your receipts.

A lot more. Those late fees are rip offs.

Less (from them). Their rates are about as high as they come. Other shops are half price or a little more than half price.

I can't say that I rent more but I can definitely say that I've beaten more games since they did that.
