If you are lucky enough to live close to a brick and mortar Blockbusters store, they are offering an awesome new plan, especially if you have a gamer in the family. For $14.99, they are offering a One-OUT Combo plan which means you can have either any dvd movie or any game in the store out at a time and can do unlimited exchanges for the month. Previously, our son paid $22 for a single game out a month plan. They are also throwing in a single game or movie bonus through their mail service once a month but we aren't sure how that works yet. The store may have had the wrong email in their system because an email address for an older account received the mailing offer, not the email address we want linked to the store which just had a free 2 dvd-at-a-time month trial. If I hadn't read about the deal being limited to one free trial a household, I would have gone ahead and used the old email address for a free one month 3 dvd-at-a-time trial but felt that was taking advantage of a struggling company that we may want a longterm relationship with if they keep trying so darn hard with these new promotions.
This plan is much better than their by mail plans for us because we live as close to a store as a mailbox, making the turnover instant. No waiting for the mail to deliver or for the Blockbuster system to send the next item on the next business day. The stores have the newest games but their online mail system doesn't and in store exchanges for mailers are limited to movies so our gamer son much preferred this store plan. Best of all, there is a current promotion to get this subscription for half price!
ETA: Was informed to give a new email account address to the store people to be linked to the new 1-Out Combo Pass for the email invitation to the new limited mail account for one mailing per month. Old inactive account email addresses shouldn't be used.
