Must be nice to be the only dog in the race....

I used to rent at Hollywood video, it was cool that I signed up in Delaware and when I moved to Texas they had all my info on file (used same membership card). Instead of renting I usually just borrow the game from a friend to see if I like it, and friends borrow mine to see if they like it.
I think Blockbuster is doing Wii rentals like the movie theaters do the concession stands; renting out less items at a higher cost
ChadTower:
That does sort of make sense, though. They had to eventually give up on the need to rent a game 10 times before breaking even. The discs are usually trash after only a couple of rentals.
ChadTower:
Heh, I remember that. The cashiers were never trained in how to flash a cart in under 15 minutes. Every time someone wanted to rent a game the whole store came to a stop. Then the writers would break down. A few times we rented games that just didn't work when you got them home. That was not a process suited for min wage retail workers.
Ginsu Victim:
Wow, that's nuts. We didn't have BB in our area back then, so this is the first I'm hearing of this.
ChadTower:
It was actually a decent idea that could have worked. It was implemented so badly, though, that it actually crippled a our local BB's ability to rent games for a while.
