Post #305,103 by malraux 3/4/09 5:37:04 PM Reply	Actually, I'm disappointed. The nice thing about Blockbuster's service as compared to Netflix (which we have), is that you can bring a movie in to a store and replace it for free right then instead of waiting for the mail. It would be handy for when my parents come to visit and they want to pick up a movie. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

Post #305,191 by folkert 3/6/09 6:09:47 PM Reply	Ok... the homepage says: Easy $1 DVD rentals. No late fees. Rent and return at over 12,000 locations. I still don't see what the deal is he is complaining about then? Dunno.
