| FreeTalkLive said: DKII, what? A 5 day rental is $9. Even if your blockbuster lets you turn it in a week late, that is still $9 for 10 days. It would be another $9 for 10 more days, right? $18 for 20 days. $36 for 40 days. $45 for 42 days. |
no, it doesn't work that way. Blockbuster got chewed out and lost a class action lawsuit over their rental policy. So to prevent that from happening again they changed it to the following.
$$ for 5 day movie/game rental
No late fees ever.
Some stores (not all) charge a $2 restocking fee if it is >7 days(??) after the due date.
If you have the game out for 31 days after (i think) the 10th day, then you buy it.
So you can have a game/movie out for 12 days and only pay the original rental fee.
You can have it out for ~40 for only original fee + $2 (depending on store)
