I have had Blockbuster online for over a year and a half and I love it!
Total Access has only been in effect for a couple months, but it has only made the service better. I was happy with Blockbuster before they introduced Total Access, so I have only gotten happier.
Originally, I paid $15.97 per month and got unlimited rentals sent to me, three at a time. Blockbuster also gave me two in-store rental coupons per month that could be used on movies or video games.
The video game coupon was the reason I chose Blockbuster over Netflix in the first place. Since game rentals are up to $7.99 per month, I cover my costs every month.
Recently, Blockbuster introduced the new feature that allows me to return the movies I have watched to the nearest store and receive a free in-store rental in return.
I don't really know how this service benefits the store in any way, but I love it!
I'd have to say that my favorite part about Blockbuster online is the game rentals they give me.
I signed up a long time ago and they no longer offer coupons that can be used for game rentals, so I think it says a lot that Blockbuster still honors my original package.
Since I've been a member, the price went from $15.89 to $19.07 a month, but it hasn't changed in the last year.
Anytime I have had a problem with any of the disks, Blockbuster has been more than cooperative to reimburse me or give me extra in-store coupons.
I have no complaints about Blockbuster online and I would recommend it to anyone.
