Rentals are $1.99-3.99
Purchases are $9.99

There is also a free rental section but I did not see what was in there since it did not work in Firefox without the IE tab extension. I clicked to download the extension and by the time I came back to the site it was down.]]>Aug 6th 2008 8:17AMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/08/05/blockbuster-tests-movie-download-service-dvd-rental-kiosks/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/08/05/blockbuster-tests-movie-download-service-dvd-rental-kiosks/Aug 6th 2008 1:16PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/08/05/blockbuster-tests-movie-download-service-dvd-rental-kiosks/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/08/05/blockbuster-tests-movie-download-service-dvd-rental-kiosks/back in the day it was cool to go into your local video store and rent movies... you could actually have a good conversation with the employee most of the time because the people who worked at teh local store was a movie buff...now blockbuster has put a lot of local places out and when i go into a blockbuster, half the time im talking to this pimply faced kid that doesnt know jack about anything...and on top of that trying to assert this "authority" he thinks he has with checking id's and whatnot when im trying to rent a movie...]]>Aug 6th 2008 5:08PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/08/05/blockbuster-tests-movie-download-service-dvd-rental-kiosks/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/08/05/blockbuster-tests-movie-download-service-dvd-rental-kiosks/
And I have to say that the instore option with some BB accounts has actually been pretty useful (though still far from my main source of HD movies, which still remains mail rentals and satellite TV).

I hope that this online video service actually offers up something I want to watch. I have unlimited free access to all of the Netflix movies online -- and watch perhaps 2 hours a month, at most, because the quality (even at the highest speed bit rate) is so bad and the selection is mediocre. I won't even mind paying for quality. Lemme download a 1080p movie in a high bitrate and I'll gladly fork over $5 for an online rental.]]>Aug 6th 2008 6:11PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/08/05/blockbuster-tests-movie-download-service-dvd-rental-kiosks/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2008/08/05/blockbuster-tests-movie-download-service-dvd-rental-kiosks/Aug 8th 2008 5:56AM
