Squirrel, stop being a dumbass. If you are up to a week late (a whole fucking week) you are charged nothing. NUUUUUTTHIIIINNGG. You will almost never be charged more than $9 for keeping the movie. I don't know hwere the hell you got the figure you did. The charge is the previously viewed price minus what you already paid to rent it, which is 90% of the time going to be 12.99 -4.31, and you can still just bring it back for a fucking refund. This inconveniences no one. We have to stock more copies now of course (394 of Troy) but we don't hav eto deal with complaining people nearly as much.
I assume you're talking about this:
EDIT--I looked up the link, and it'll be $10-17 for DVDs...yeah, bring that puppy back, fool!
I got my figures from the linked article. Did you even read it, jackass?
The cost of becoming the owner of a Blockbuster product will depend on whether it is a movie or game and whether it is still in print. In most cases, customers will pay the price for previously viewed materials — $10-$17 for DVDs and $10-$13 for videos — and not the retail price, Ciaciuch said.
If you have a problem with it, Mr. Blockbuster Expert, take it up with the writer of the article, not me. It's not as if I ever rent from that shithouse, anyway.
