- Think Blockbuster is realizing that Netflix has their number? The company that makes a fair amount of its profit off of people too lazy to return rented movies on time has decided to stop charging late fees. It's not as simple as it sounds, actually. They will rent you the movie with the same return date as before, but you'll have a one-week "grace period" in which to return it -- basically making the return date one week later, even if that's not official. However, if you don't return it by that point, Blockbuster will simply charge you for the price of buying the movie (less the rental fee). |
