Thank our economy for competition! I never rent from Blockbuster; I always
rent from their competitor across the street: American Video Network. They
charge $2 for the first night and $1 for each additional night. Look for
an AVN, Hollywood Video, Movie Gallery or anyone else near you.

Count yourselves lucky, in the UK we have to pay Ł4.50 for TWO nights for
new releases, which works out at about $3.60 a night.

4.5 UK = 3.6 USA? Isn't that backwards?

No, he said, essentially that 4.5UK = 7.2 US.

Your all lucky. In England, N64 games are 4.50 in pounds which is about
$8 FOR 2 NIGHTS. Saturn games are half that and PS games are in the
middle.

That's ridiculous! I mean, they're prices are normally outrageous, but
. . . crap!

Hi,
just don't rent from them (if possible)
Their are at least 3 other video stores that rent N64 games for
$1.50 a night. Look around, I'm sure you will find other places, if you
live near a city.

They charge you a dollar more for 2 more nights. Those damn bastards! Just
grow up, if you can't afford the extra dollar and don't like to keep your
games for 5 nights then go to some mom and pop's video store and get your
games. I think it is a great deal and a good way to really find out if the
game you want to buy will keep your interest after 5 days.

IMHO,
