Blockbuster Targets Unhappy Netflix Customers
Posted July 14, 2011 04:22 PM by Webmaster
Following the price hike Netflix unveiled, Blockbuster has announced a limited time offer to Netflix customers to switch to Blockbuster Total Access. Customers who choose one of Blockbuster's two most popular Total Access plans, from now until September 15th, will receive a free 30-day trial. After the promotion expires, customers will be billed either $9.99 for one disc at a time, or $14.99 for two discs at a time per month.
Blockbuster president Michael Kelly also added: "We find it shocking that anyone would raise rates as high as 60 percent" - and - "Blockbuster Total Access provides benefits Netflix doesn't offer: availability of many new releases 28 days before Netflix; unlimited in-store exchanges; games for Xbox 360, Playstation3, and Nintendo Wii, and no additional charge for Blu-ray movies."
