I don’t think our turnaround time with Blockbuster is bad. They usually receive the DVD in a day and the next day send me another. I have no desire to go back to doing everything through the store…. at least yet. Plus I feel like a Rockstar when I take one in and leave without paying. Give me the simple pleasures… I’ll take them everytime.

and btw, its pretty funny you have an article here complaining about blockbuster when the google ad that popped up for me as I read this article was promoting blockbuster online for only $4.99 a month with no later fees!!!

I gave up Blockbuster a few months ago when they raised prices. They told me my prices would stay the same because I was a "valued customer." Of course, if I switched plans, I'd be subject to the new pricing (understandable.) Anyway, after about a week, my service degraded so much. I no longer had access to "e-coupons" which they said I would. I contacted customer service 3 times who apologized and said they would work on the problem. 3 months later after nothing was done I canceled. I'm not happy with Netflix either, mostly because the value just isn't there (can't take them back to the store, and I can't watch their movies online since I run Mac OS). Anyway... I hope Hollywood Video or a direct competitor eventually does DVDs-by-mail with in-store returns. Until them I'm strictly on my DVR. Adam's last blog post..Lost Billboards

No video by mail, but they have a store by my house…and they have a monthly plan like Blockbuster/Netflix…

I was just thinking what it would be like if I just went back to visiting the movie store like I used to, and still have the same plan as Blockbuster.

Bring a movie back, exchange it, watch it, bring it back, etc., all for one price.

Hollywood Video has DVD by mail?

Love the sarcasm Jason

They do take a long time to turn it around sometimes.

The in-store rentals are nice though.

I’ve been thinking about Hollywood Video a lot….they have cheaper prices and unlimited exchanges in the store, you can just only have out like 2-3 at a time.

Well, it’s almost 7 A.M. Central time and their site is back up. I’m so relieved. I just mailed a movie in and I only have about a week before they receive it so I wanted to make sure I had time to edit my queue before the six day processing window that it takes them to decide to send me another movie by tricycle delivery (how else to explain the length of transit?). Thank God I can still exchange five movies in store! What? I’ve already used all five for January? But it’s only the 8th!?!?
