Blockbuster Online Rental Plans

The Blockbuster Video Online Rental Plan


Blockbuster Total Access, Many Price Plans!

In the good old days of the 1970s, there was no such thing as a movie rental. If you wanted to watch a movie over and over again, you needed to pay and pay again at a movie theater. However, this did not really happen in excess until the release of the Star Wars in 1976. Cable and satellite television was pretty much still a concept, and if you wanted to see a film that was no longer playing you were pretty much at the mercy of the networks. You would need to check the local listings and make yourself available for when the movie aired. Even if you did get to see it, profanity would be dubbed and whole scenes that were deemed not suitable for television would be taken out.

IN the 1980, video cassettes and video cassette recorders were invented.  Movie makers soon realized there was a huge market for video cassettes, as they gave the viewer the chance to watch a film as many times as they wanted, and at a time that was convenient to them. Video stores seemed to spring up across the country overnight.

In the 1990s, VCR tapes gave way to DVDs. DVDs had better sound quality and better picture, and movie makers could load up the DVDs with extras such as bloopers and alternate endings. At first, video cassettes were rented side by side with DVDs in the video stores. By the 2000s, VCR tapes had pretty much disappeared.

Now, with the internet in almost every home, Blockbuster video has revolutionized video stores once again. by offering online movie rentals. How it works is, you choose a monthly plan, and then order your DVDs through the website. The DVDs are mailed to you, and then you watch them. When you are done with the DVDs, you can either return them in the mail or your local Blockbuster video store. Some plans allow you to even take the movies you ordered by mail and exchange them at your local Blockbuster video store.

This has become a very popular way to watch movies, because it is more often than not a much cheaper way to see all the latest hit releases. Whatever plan you may choose, it is the same price if you watch three movies per month or twenty movies per month. You can pay with a major credit card, or you can use your Pay Pal account.

Even if you don’t have a credit card or a Pay Pal account, you can pay by simply signing up for the program at your local Blockbuster store.

This is an ideal way to rent movies for those of us who have busy lives and can’t always find time to go to the video store. You can browse the selections from your living room, and hot new releases will almost always be in stock. The only problem with the program is that you have to wait for your movies to come in the mail. However, with a little pre-planning this is no problem at all.
