Blockbuster, now that we have one about a mile away...before we'd just do Pay-per-view - same price, no late fees...but not as big a selection.
I also used to do Netflix.

Dunno if they have these in AZ but they absolutely put Blockbuster to shame. Plus you just cant beat 5 night rentals on New Releases that dont have to be back until Midnight instead of Blockbusters ******* noon time!

Same here. I will "rent" movies off pay per view on occasion. To us it is cheaper. We never have time to return the damn things and end up with late fees constantly.

lol exactly.
I'm my own video store anyway...
975 DVDs
125 Laserdiscs
50 Videotapes
Albertsons. Only $2-3 dollars for a DVD depending on if it is new or not. Much more affordable than Blockbuster. For what you pay at Blockbuster you can almost own the dang thing.

My first thought was, "Holy s***balls!"
We go to Hollywood Video. We rent a lot of kid movies so the 5 day rental is great. The kids can watch the movie a bunch of times before it has to go back.
Chaplin,
What do you charge for a 5 day rental?
My first thought was, why on Earth would anyone need that many movies, lol.

We're on the Blockbuster monthly plan. It runs about $21 per month and we can always have 2 movies out with no late fees. Very similar to Netflix. Also, with every five movies you take out, you get a free regular rental. This works well for renting games. It really is their best deal.
I'm going to do their $19.95 a month Gamepass thing...pretty cool, you can have one game out at a time, but for as long as you want...and you can switch it at anytime for another game.

I haven't instituted a real "rental" system, although I've been asked about it before.
I'd probably do something like 2 bucks for a week or something--haven't really thought much about it.

Go Cardinals! Yay!!!
Best video store in America - Video Paradise on Alma School and Warner.
About the size of a department store with everything you could hope for. Huge selection of foreign, horror, and adult plus all the independent and unrated movies that Blockbuster won't touch. Support local business!

Not only do they have movies but they have tv series, documentaries, and others. Very cool system.
You register on their website. Choose a plan ( I can have up to 3 movies checked out for 19.95 per month) and start adding movies to your queue.
No late fees!
No postage necessary
Comes ready to be mailed back
It is very cool...
I don't even go to video stores any more.

I see Chandler Mike mentioned netflix

That's Mr. Riff-Raff to you!
Blockbuster or Hollywood (whichever is less busy at the time) when I do rent a movie.
Normally, I will download a movie I'm curious about. If I like it, and it has some staying power, I buy it on DVD or see it in a theatre.

When something works well...Wal-Mart is soon to follow suit: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/030610/lntu003_1.html

I will never walk into a Wal-Mart. I can't stand those stores and what they have done to the small businesses in rural area's.
F*** Wal-Mart!!
Netflix - and now that they have a distribution center here in Phoenix, the turn around time is even faster. I haven't rented a movie from a Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, Chaplin Video or any other store in just over 3 years.

Movie Zone, or Blockbuster. Movie Zone is cheaper, but not as great a selection as Blockbuster.
See I would rather buy a new game every two months.
I would rather not waste money on games I would end up not liking. Sure, I want to buy games, and I will, but not before I test them out first.
I am playing NBA 2K3 right now, and I think I'll end up buying it.

Remember that post on the Suns board where someone (Wayward?) posted all the options you could set to make the game more realistic? Well, it works, kind of... Definitely worth searching for it.
