BlockBuster Online ? <--- whacked out
I just saw this and I don't know what to say about it ... kinda whacked out!
http://www.blockbuster.com/acctmgmt...&subChannel=sub
wow not bad at all ..
make some good use of http://www.videohelp.com/ 
I'd sign up for this!
You'd likely be able to order six movies (only allowed 3 at a time)in a morth + 2 free in-store rentals for $14.99.. That's not bad.. but then again it depends on how much s&h charges would be, also how much it'd be to send them back, plus tax...
Come to think about it, i think it'd end up being juss as much as going to the store... i'll stick to the store... way more convenient! no wasting time mailing shit back or having to wait for yer movie to come!
PLUS they have stopped charging for late fees.......
ps. i wonder if i still have to pay for the fees i had from before this new 'no late-fees' thing?

Oh and this is off of blockbuster.COM. There is no mention of this on blockbuster.CA.
So, it's $14.95/mo USD and not (yet?) avail in Canada... 
Aww man, to bad its not. To lazy to go to the store now, i'd rather get it shipped to my door step lol!
This isn't available in canada yet, don't know if it will be available at all. There are a few services like this in the states, and blockbuster just entered the fray. Since there isn't much competition for this kind of thing up here, I don't see them being in too much of a rush to give this service to us.

Hmmm looks like that online DVD rental place is really giving blockbuster some competition so they've decided to take their domination back ....interesting....cool stuff though!
I know some other companies are planning to do something similiar with music...as in rent music rather than buy it (like with iTunes for example) 
Sorry about the hijack by the way
Pretty pathetic to think that people are too lazy to even go rent a movie now.
I predict that in 20 years, leaving the house will be a huge event.
I don't think it's about being lazy...i think it's about the fact that people's lives are getting more and more busy and there's no time to "go rent a movie".....many people I know just come home after a full day of work too tired to even think about going out....or simply don't have enough time...this provides them with the convenience IMHO.
In my gym there's a personal consierge service now. Some think it's for lazy people...I think that a person that gets paid $300/hour has more important things to do than sit and order his own car/restaurant reservation/and etc 
Yeah, there are at least 15 different alternatives and competitors in Canada with this "idea" already... and I guess BlockBuster.ca will try and catch up with the rest of that market sooner or later and try to reclaim some of it as well.

I hope for society's sake that it doesn't work
When someone asked IBM's (or maybe some other big computer company) chief exec some 20 or so years ago if people will have computers at home he said NO...why would anyone need such a thing?
I wanna rent two movies thi weekend and take advantage of there NO FEE EVENT!!!LOVES IT!
AUTO FOCUS AND LEVITY are the two names of the films - anyone seen them>??

levity
Auto Focus
I've been a Zip.ca subscriber for about a year - http://www.zip.ca
I recommend it 100%. DVDs take 2 days to arrive (tops). Never had any problems.

i'm trying this out free for 2 weeks.....amazing so far. When i'm done with my 2 weeks, my roommates will follow. If you watch a lot of movies this is wicked.
