Blockbuster adds games to mail rental service
By
-August 10, 2010
Blockbuster has just officially added games to it’s mail rental service, beginning at $8.95 for one disc. The games have been on a trial run in test markets across the country for awhile but now make their debut to the rest of us commonfolk starting with 3,000 titles.
The addition of games is meant to give Blockbuster’s service a 1UP (oh ho ho) over competitiors GameFly and Netflix, which are either games or movies-only and priced similar. Blockbuster’s also had problems shaking off competitors RedBox, with their machines offering DVD rentals at $1. It’s all caused the brick-and-mortar stores to suffer and Blockbuster to consider declaring bankruptcy earlier in the year. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and maybe the consumer option to have games or movies interchangeably will be exactly the edge the former rental giant is dying for.
