Let me clear the air...I work for Blockbuster and just sat through a 2-hour meeting about this...
The price they charge for the movie will be how much it costs to buy a used copy of the movie at Blockbuster...It may be slightly higher for newer movies but not MSRP...probably not more than $20-25 minus the rental price
If your credit card does get charged, your card can be fully refunded (not store credit) when you return the item just minus the $1.25 restocking fee but you have to do it in person...BTW your Blockbuster account doesnt have to have a credit card attached to it...we just perfer it for security purposes..
In my opinion...giving people an extra week to bring a movie or game back is more than enough time to return an item and IMHO if you keep something more than 30 days after its due then you deserve to pay for it...Blockbuster could have rented that item out 4-5 times during those 30 days and made more money on it than what we would charge you to keep it.
I'll answer any questions you guys have....I work at the one Niagara Falls Blvd in the Burlington Plaza in Amherst
And Todd I've rented over 600 items in 3 years while working there (I get 5 freebies a week) and have not seen any censorship, but if you have an example I'd like to hear about it...
