I checked the links that you gave. Yes, what you said are all there. How sad they are having this kind of something. I guess canceling your account be a great idea. And I hope they are aware of this.

I work at blockbuster and I've never heard of this. Is there a link?

Cnoah, you are a moron… read what I wrote… they are only allowing affiliates to push people to the 9.99 trial pages. It is an old and stupid offer since they advertise everywhere else that it is a FREE TRIAL.

If someone navigate to the site through an affiliate link they see the 9.99 trial page. If they have ever seen the ads else where they will look around for the free trial pages… thus fucking the affiliate.

Wow. The $9.99 for the first month is an old offer. It's all free for the first two weeks, no matter where you sign up. You're retarded.

I would not doubt it. If they even read it at all.

I am going to cancel my account with them this month, just because they suck the same way netflix does.

It is a shame that Blockbuster put all the indie stores out of business in my area, because I would rather see the money go to them.

I bet Blockbuster stopped reading after the first swear word.

Blahbuster…

I love it when big companies get called out for having a crappy online marketing strategy (Blockbuster).
I'd also like to add that their natural seo sucks; if you're a company like Blockbuster how the hell do you let someone like DVD Ave…
