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.

Hollywood Video
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 suckass 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. |

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?

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.

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!
