Since netflix increased their prices I dropped the DVD by mail but kept the streaming service. I don’t use DVD by mail enough to spend $8/month on it, I usually only get 2-3 a month.
However blockbuster movie pass is only $10 if you already have dish network. And it seems to be a pretty good deal.
100k DVD movies by mail
Free in store exchanges of DVDs by mail for movies
Several thousand streaming videos
20 extra movie channels on Dish Network
Video Games as well as DVDs
The in store exchange is the deal blockbuster used to have in 2006-2007, you’d use their DVD by mail business and you could exchange them in store. But that was something they changed fairly quickly. You used to be able to do unlimited exchanges, then it was cut to something like 2-5 a month. I have no idea if that is the case now, and/or if you can exchange for new releases. Plus most of the B&M blockbusters have closed down near where I live, so I couldn’t exchange them if I wanted to. All 3 that were within a 30 mile radius of me are closed now. Looking it up further, I don’t even know if you can exchange them for new movies in store, or if they just take them for you and mail your next title instead.
The streaming doesn’t really sound too impressive either. I doubt they have anything I can’t get on netflix.
However the 20 extra movie channels sounds appealing. So does the video game option.
Has anyone bought this service?
