Blockbuster Online Movie
Rentals
Movie Rentals Online
Up until a couple of years ago, the thought
of renting movies online and through the mail
was a foreign concept. Blockbuster had
rental stores in every town. Then along
came Netflix as an alternative.
Blockbuster has responded with its own
Blockbuster online movie rentals service called
BLOCKBUSTER Total Access
 as a way for consumers to get
movies from the convenience of their own
home delivered right to their door.
Like Netflix, Blockbuster has a movie
recommendation system in place that makes
recommendations based on your rankings of other
movies you have seen.

Blockbuster Online Movie Rentals with In
Store Returns
One thing that sets Blockbuster apart from
Netflix is the ability to allow in store
exchanges where rather then wait to send a
movie back by mail, you are allowed to go to
the nearest Blockbuster and make an exchange
right in the store.
Selections
Blockbuster has a wide selection of
DVDs. They currently have over 75,000
selections including Blu-ray and HD DVD.
Their selection on independent movies is not as
wide as that of Netflix.
Free Trial
Blockbuster allows you to test drive their
service with a free trial.
Conclusion
Blockbuster has come up with a plan to
counter the popularity of Netflix. If you
want the convenience of an online, home
delivered movie rental service with the option
of dropping off movies at the local rental
store, then BLOCKBUSTER Total Access
plan is a natural choice.
