Online movie rental by Blockbuster

Blockbuster Online offers an attractive movie rental package, which includes elements of the Netflix and Redbox commercial plans, along with game rentals. I imagine this should appeal to a sizeable portion of the movie-renting population. While I still prefer faster Netflix shipping, if you had a Blockbuster kiosk or store in your neighborhood, or you play a lot of video games, Blockbuster Online might be a better option.
