Blockbuster.com has their online rental service $10 for your first month, then $17.99 per month. You get one free in-store rental (games included), unlimited online rentals (3 out at a time) with free shipping, no return dates.

You can return your online DVDs to a store and immediately receive a free in-store rental in exchange. They will also count that online DVD as having been returned, and proceed to ship the next DVD in your queue.

    This plan only allows for 5 instore returns/exchanges per month. If you want unlimited in-store exchanges the cost is $24.99

    They also seem to be delaying shipments the last few months. I exchanged a dvd in-store on a Friday and they didn't ship another DVD until Thursday (after I complained)

    I hated Ballbuster before they went online and they continue to confirm why I still hate them and would never use them.

    WOW! How many movies do you folks watch? I had the Netflix 3-at-a-time plan and I couldn't keep up with all the movies (approx 14 a month due to throttling). Last month I switched to the Netflix 1-at-a-time plan and it's much more sensible for me.

    So can you only get games in store or will they ship games to you?

    I cancel mine membership because my queue is unavailable for the past 2 months. I can only add movies but can not see or modify the queue, neither can complain when I return DVDs to store as mention above. It's going nowhrere event after I talked to technical support for more than a few times. So frustrated....

    I don't understand why people are complaing. Before their unlimited instore exchanges you got 2 coupons for instore a month. Now you get 5 instore exchanges. Did you really think unlimited exchanges would last forever?

    I liked my BB service until this month when they took away a bunch of my services and upped my monthly fee all without the courtesy of a simple email notification. If they were trying to kill Netflix they should not have tried to drive all the customers who switched back! Dumb asses!
