View Full Version : Blockbuster drops late fees bossradio93 12-14-2004, 08:24 PM Blockbuster drops late fees http://money.cnn.com/2004/12/14/news/midcaps/blockbuster_latefees/index.htm?cnn=yes CNN Money-December 14, 2004 isiahthomas 01-09-2005, 02:56 PM I saw their new commercial where it says they aren't charging people for late fees anymore. I don't think that makes any sense cause then people will return the movies when they feel like it. What do ya'll think? Dutabi84 01-09-2005, 03:02 PM It's pretty deceiving, because I'm pretty sure you have to buy the movie if it's more than a week late. isiahthomas 01-09-2005, 03:06 PM Yeah i think it's deceiving too cause i know Blockbuster isn't gonna let people have movies out for a long time & not charge them for late fees. dawsongirl 01-09-2005, 10:24 PM It's pretty deceiving, because I'm pretty sure you have to buy the movie if it's more than a week late. I'd hope so. I mean, what would stop anyone from renting a movie for $3 and never giving it back? Not that I particularly care if Blockbuster loses money, especially if there isn't a catch. isiahthomas 01-10-2005, 11:35 AM Blockbuster charges $4.29 for new releases, not $3. *MIBabe03* 01-10-2005, 11:50 AM Blockbuster charges $4.29 for new releases, not $3. Either way you should get Dawsongirl's point. It doesn't really matter if it's $4.29 or $3.00 Brent88 01-10-2005, 11:52 AM Blockbuster charges $4.29 for new releases, not $3. It's $2.49 here. :) isiahthomas 01-10-2005, 12:16 PM It's $2.49 for new releases at Blockbuster where you live Brent88? Damn you're lucky. Brent88 01-10-2005, 12:49 PM It's $2.49 for new releases at Blockbuster where you live Brent88? Damn you're lucky. Yep, I'm looking at a reciept right now... you only get them for 2 nights though. Everything else is $1.99 for 5 nights. HuntingtonM15 01-10-2005, 01:30 PM It's $2.49 for new releases at Blockbuster where you live Brent88? Damn you're lucky. The price varies from store to store. The Blockbuster near my school charges $4.99 for new releases, yet the one by my house charges $2.99. All other movies are $1.99 (the one by my house) and you get to keep them for 9 days, I believe. Chad22 01-10-2005, 01:31 PM Yep, I'm looking at a reciept right now... you only get them for 2 nights though. Well, Since they dont have late fees anymore you may as well take them for 2 nights and bring them back in 5 nights. :lol: GARFIELDKOOL 01-10-2005, 01:40 PM I haven't been to Blockbuster in years but it sounds like they are like everyone else is facing stiff competition from Wal-mart, Circuit City, and Best Buy. |
