It’s Friday night and instead of heading to your local Cineplex, you want to kick back, relax and watch a DVD. If you don’t feel like making a trip to the store, some of the best Internet DVD rentals are available online, saving you gas and time! Some services like Blockbuster offer online rentals and still maintain their chain stores, a combination that is giving their competition a run for their money.

Blockbuster once again proves the popularity of their DVD online rental service by adding more features & flexibility to their membership plans. Customers can choose to return their online DVD rentals either by mail or by drop-off at their nearby Blockbuster store. Not only does this make DVD online rentals quick and convenient, it nearly eliminates all competition because their chains are everywhere.

Blockbuster is also one of the few online services to offer XBox, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Nintendo Game Cube, and Game Boy Advance video games to their members. This option is wonderful for those that have kids, or for the adult who is a kid at heart themselves - PLEASE NOTE, this is an in store option only. Blockbuster internet DVD rentals are for movie rentals only.

Like many of its competitors, Blockbuster offers free shipping and postage, doesn’t charge late fees and has monthly membership plans to choose from.
