Francesca and I rented two movies at Blockbuster last night.  Since we are signed up for the pretty cheap blockbuster club or whatever we get one non-new rental a month.  It has paid for itself many times now and we usually go in, rent a few new releases and get the free one.  Its generally more than id like but acceptable.  We generally buy movies, we don’t rent that much.

We usually buy because buying movies is cheap compared to renting.  Now its even moreso.  We can buy like 4 movies at blockbuster for $20.  I can get movies at Stuff for $2.50 – $7.  I only buy movies I like so the price is great.  However, recently renting a new release at Blockbuster just went up to $4.99.  Its also $4.99 to rent a bluray movie, which I think is sort-of-kinda worth it but not for a DVD.  We both decided last night we were not renting from Blockbuster anymore because they just went to a really unreasonable price.

For all you netflix people out there, we don’t rent enough to justify that expense.  I also have an aversion to  a million monthy fees for non-essential entertainment services.
