On this new Blockbuster Combo Pass? It's $23 a month with tax but covers movies and games. It's only one item out at a time, but to me, it's as good as Netflix and Gamefly because it's right around the corner. It also covers Blu Ray movies too. I know I don't game as much as I used to, but having the ability to snag a movie, a Blu Ray or a game and take it right back for a new one is pretty cool.
Discuss.
Blockbuster have'nt been there since like 2004...I'm not intrested. I dont rent games or movies I buy them...
lower it to 19.99... and make it 3 items at once. And I will be remotely interested.
Gas money is not worth driving back and forth between blockbuster for my 1 item.

Hmmmm... I didn't know about this little service. I may have to check it out after my promo ends with netflix. Movies are something like 4.50 at a time to rent. Granted I only rent 1 or 2 a month, but mixed with games for all three platforms is pretty good. I agree, though, 19.99 and 2 out at a time would be more attractive. I walk right by a blockbuster 3 times a week so it is convenient.
I hate trolls.

It just keeps recharging my card. Apparently, it's for the summer and afterward, it's gone. The manager said it would keep going as long as I pay. Plus, it's only for one store. However, with games at $7.99 a pop, it would pay for itself in just 3 rentals.
@king - I hear you on gas prices. However, it's literally a 3-minute ride to it. Longer and I'd balk at it. However, seeming I pay and wait for my Netflix, it's a bargain for me. I just can't watch my streaming movies on my 360 
nope! lololol
If it were:
$15.99 for one at a time.
$19.99 for two at a time.
But they don't want to lose revenue, a lot of people still rent the good old fashion way.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
Having games in there makes it interesting. But they would need to drop it to around 15 bucks for me to pay that a month. Though I like buying, never been a big renter.
I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"
"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"
"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
Mad,
Are you getting your games in one day from Netflix? I've rented three so far and all three have been one day out/one day back. I'm only down a couple of days in between.
Lair is on deck, lol.
