Same deal here. I'm flabbergasted that so many people still think
renting from the local video store is too inconvenient. After reading
all the complaints about Netflix, it seems quite apparent to me that
they are the more inconvenient option. The whole late fees thing used to
hold some water, but since Blockbuster stopped charging late fees last
year, it's hardly an issue anymore. I keep most of my DVDs from
Blockbuster out for a week/week and a half and never get charged an
extra cent for them. And I don't have to let them bill my credit card
monthly get to get this privilege(yes, i firmly believe not paying late
fees is a privilege NOT a right).
I've been considering giving Blockbuster Online a try because of the 4
free in-store rentals a month, but with all the complaints of service
being even worse than Netflix, I'm not really sure it's worth it.
