I just got an email from them. This is what is says:

What was it before?

I think it was $20.

Yep, and the 2 in store coupons are now good for games too. Instead of just movies.

Anyone know if you can pay for their on-line rental plans with a gift-card at their B&M stores?

Or do you need a credit card?

CREDIT CARD.

The coupons good on games definitely adds value to their membership plan. Actually, that almost makes it worth while right there; my BB charges 6.50 or so to rent a game for a week.
I assume they're good at any BB?
I had the GamePass at my local store for one month; in that one month, I played every PS2 game they had that I was interested in. :(

If you do sign up...

Just by signing up for the free two-week trial, you automatically help support CAG (and our new top of the line server), even if you do not continue on to the pay service.
Your support is appreciated.

I would if i had a DVD player send everyone dvd players so we can join

Also, for those concerned about slow service: I emailed them and they said they are implementing a system where the post office notifies them that you mailed your dvds and Blockbuster will immediately ship you the next ones in your queue before actually receiveing them. Hopefully this will speed things up considerably.

Let me know when they do this because, I would be willing to sign up for there service when this happens

Netflix drops their price to $17.99 as well on Nov 1st.
Meaning if you join now, you get 2 free weeks before the lower price.

Wow, that would be amazing, but I don't see the post office going along with that, but who knows. If so, even more reason for me to keep the service.

Yea. Mine charges 7.03 after tax. Its pretty crazy.

Do you think they will ever start renting out games through this service as well?

I was disappointed when I found out they didn't do that, as far as I know. I don't see why not either.

I would say PROBABLY....maybe for more, but who knows. It would be worth it though....I feel they will want to corner the market for online rentals.

Hmmm I just signed up for this a week ago do you think they will send me an emails aying the prices dropped after my free two week trial ends?

Probably....or CANCEL when you are done with the trial and they will PROBABLY send you an e-mail to come back at a lower price. Currently, I have a 6-month deal for $16/month

Who is the shipping company for the movies. If it is the US Post office I call Bull Shit. I do not believe the USPS will do this for a business.
