Blockbuster Total Access Jumps $2 Month
In case some of you were wondering how / why I watch some of the sci fi movies that I review here (which are in no particular order except for how they show up in the mail) the service I use is Blockbuster Total Access. Sure, they’ve got the exchange-the-movie-in-the-store feature, but frankly I don’t really use it that much. Here’s the note I got from Blockbuster today:
“To continue to bring you the unmatched convenience of both online and in-store DVD rentals, your monthly subscription fee will change slightly from $17.99 to $19.99. This adjustment† will go into effect on your next billing cycle on or after December 27, 2007. The benefits of your subscription plan will remain the same…and it’s a value of $34.99!”
Blockbuster doesn’t have movies on demand yet. I’ll give ‘em 60 days to bring it on, otherwise, I think I’ll switch over to Netflix. After all, I’ve got an S-Video out on my video card, and my computer plugs in to my surround system. And for what it’s worth, where do they come up with the $34.99 price point? I don’t recall seeing that price listed anywhere by anyone. Sinister marketing ploy alert.
