Just read the Netflix post and wanted to bring "Redbox" up for those who may not know of it.
It's one of the automated sytems you see at grocery stores, etc... I believe I read that it is owned by the McDonald's corporation, so there is money behind it and it's an organized system.
You can look into it at Redbox.com.
Rentals are $1 each night and you can go online and place a hold on the movies you want to pick up later. I have a "Redbox" in my local grocery store, so, it's just as convenient as Blockbuster.
The plus side is the money I save. I was spending $15-$20 a week at Blockbuster.
The downside is that the selections aren't as large as Blockbuster and they have a limited supply of each movie. And, of course, if you keep the movie over 3 or 4 nights, you aren't saving money any longer.
It may not be your one stop video rental place, but, it's a great feeling to walk away with a new release and know you only paid $1.
