Isn't this a fine little Christmas present from our friends at Blockbuster? Maybe the movie rental company figured since it's this close to the holidays, no one would notice a price increase at Blockbuster Online, announced in a letter to subscribers yesterday. The most painful hit will be taken by those with a "three-out unlimited" plan, taking a huge price boost up the butt, from $24.99 to $34.99, an astonishing 40% hike. Those with the two-disc unlimited plan won't be too happy to see their $21.99 rate suddenly increasing to $29.99, a 35.3% increase. It wasn't quite that bad for other members, most of which saw plan prices raised a couple of bucks. Netflix, anyone?

Have you seen the new Blockbuster ad? They try to play off how they are better because you have the option to bring movies back to the local store instead of only mailing them...

Me? I don't use either of them.
 
going to the movie rental place I think is kind of fun, I had netflix for their trial period and that was it. I watch a decent amount of movies, but I can't justify having one of these services.
