[quote name='slidecage']you should check out the blockbuster game that you can win Buy 1 get 1.
most hollywoods take other stores coupons so get 2 new releases for 2.xx
did it last night got
halloween and futurama for 2.96
NOW IF YOU RENT ALOT BUY The 50% off a month thing for 10 bucks
2 movies for 1.50 you would have to rent at least 7 times per month to be worth it though
with all the new people going to netflix it will even be worse getting movies at netflix.

Thanks for the info; we have it at work but I have no time to look it over closely.
Also, (and I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this), but I'm surprised at the maturity this forum has exhibited over this price hike. I expected everyone here to basically scream that Blockbuster is always terrible, they are the devil, they never do anything right. While I know I feel that way a LOT of the time, I've been able to see things from their perspective more and more this year. Not on this issue though. This price hike is madness and it's only going to make things harder for store employees.
Something that's been touched on here is the online-only plans, or "blockbuster By Mail" (Not total access). While I know these plans don't offer any in-store rentals for free, and I'm fairly certain you can't even get a discount in-store with a by-mail envelope, there is some good news to this debacle:
the price for 3-at-a-time by mail is decreasing $1. So, compared to NF, we have 2 identical plans with minor changes: NF with (possibly) unlimited online viewing, and Blockbuster being a dollar cheaper and allowing drop-off in-store, meaning quicker turn-around time. I rarely ever had more than a 2 day wait with BB, but then again, I haven't given NF more than a two week trial about 2 years ago.
It comes down to this: what Blockbuster is doing is shifting online renters away, forcing their hand to choose to be online only or drop off entirely. In light of what was, this is terrible: $34 compared to $18 just a few months ago is atrocious. But compared to NF straight online 3 at a time?
I'd take a $1 cheaper and quicker turn-around any day.
And again, thanks for the civility. It was refreshing. I love being a CAG.
