I don't know about Blockbuster online, but renting BluRay movies from Blockbuster stores costs more and having the option to rent BluRay movies from NetFlix costs another $1 a month.

Blockbuster is one flat fee I know cause I have it.

Blu-ray movies $10-$15 really??

Where?

 

Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, Movie Trading Company, any brick and mortar place really. They do usually have sales and deals going on to make them affordable, but for the most part, they are $10-15 more than DVD's.

DVD's are usually somewhere around $19-24 while BluRay movies new at full price are usually $30-35 (so I guess that's $6-15 more). I see the occasional really bad movie for $24 but that's because it's the occasional really bad movie and the DVD is even cheaper.

 

 

If you pay more than $5 or $10 (At the very most for a movie you really want) then you're retarded, you should never pay $15 more for a BD movie, I just paid $5 more for a BD box set (Band of Brothers).

+shipping.

Well, unless you pay $75 for Amazon Prime and don't mind waiting two days.

 

Never paid shipping from Amazon, just choose the free shipping option (I think you might have to order more than $25 worth though).

 

 

I didn't you could find random sales on movies, in fact, I mentioned that's the only way I buy BluRay movies.  Retarded or not, unless you find a random sale on BluRay movies, they are generally $10-15 more for a movie and usually about $30 for a series.

And I refuse to pay more than $25 for a movie so why would I spend more than $25 for the free shipping?  Yeah, that works for series and boxed sets but not so great for movies since I don't buy multiple movies at a time.

-edit-

Also, Band of Brothers is a bad example since it's been marked down to nothing in just about every store imaginable.  That's like saying you got a good deal on Buffy Season 1 because you got it for $15.

(and don't get me wrong, Buffy is the shit and I have the whole series, it's just not impressive to get it for cheap)
