Block Buster Total Access
Ever since my local Hollywood Video store closed it’s doors I have been in search for a new place to rent my DVDs. At first I started to use the Redbox machine that was located in my local Jewel-Osco, however this got to be very inconvenient, since the movies are due back the next day, and expensive 1 dollar per day per movie. So this sent me out in search of a new way to rent movies. What I liked about renting movies from Hollywood video was that I could rent as many movies as I could watch taking out three movies at a time with their MVP program. I didn’t have to wait for movies to come to me in the mail and since the store was less then a mile from my house I often walked there. None of the available options were able to replicate this experience.
I knew that I had to choose at least on online rental option for DVDs. In my mind there are only two choices Netflix.com or BlockBuster Total Access. These two servics seem to be battling it out for king of the online DVD rental market so I has to give them a try. While Netflix is the king of the hill in this market right now I choose not to go with them because my only option for renting DVDs would be to wait for my postal person to deliver my videos. With Block Buster total access I can trade in the movies that I have for movie in the store, when I drop the movies off at the store Block Buster sends out the next batch of movies. I can watch many more movies this way then I can with Netflix.
I have have been a member of the BlockBuster Total Access program for about a month now and am pretty happy with it. While I am renting fewer movies then I was a Hollywood Video I still have stuff to watch. The added bonus is that I can watch quite a few older movies that I wasn’t able to get before. The actual website is ok, I am using the recommendations from Sourcelight to populate my Blockbuster “Q” as I don’t prefer Choicestream recommendations.
If you have a BlockBuster close to you I encourage you so sign-up and see how it goes for you. The first month is free so you have nothing to loose. If you use an online DVD service, which one is it and how do you like it?
