    Blockbuster to close Dallas Distribution Center

    I'm not sure of your question, but you can exchange a DVD you received by mail for one at the BB store. When you return the store DVD a slot opens in your by-mail queue.

    Blockbuster Movie Pass performance thread

    Unless they've changed from when I had BB last, they use PO drops. Mine used to go back to Springfield, IL, but my disks usually came from the STL center. There was no distribution center in Springfield. BB ran a truck from Springfield to STL to deliver the disks. That said, there were times I...

    Blockbuster Movie Pass performance thread

    Unless they are new game releases, the store would seem to be in violation of the agreement terms.

    Blockbuster Movie Pass performance thread

    I can't imagine the studios would be doing this unless it makes them more money. Then again, I didn't think the music business would be dumb enough to kill itself off. DVD sales are down last I heard and I doubt this action will help any. Most people can wait or go to a dollar theater if they...

    Blockbuster Movie Pass performance thread

    In the past few years I've only seen this with people who really stretch the system by sending DVDs back the same day they are received or the next day. Doing this every now and then doesn't seem to be an issue, but doing it over a period of time causes a slowdown in processing, usually received...

    I don't have platinum and have Blockbuster on my menu on my 722.

    It was probably 922 betaware not quite ready. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that the 722k, 722, and 622 receivers comprise the bulk of Dish's eligible receivers and that the software for those was first priority. There is no doubt Dish is trying to capitalize on some people's...

    I'm not sure I understand. Do you not have Platinum free for 3 months? Do you not have BB free for 3 months? If you have those two, you essentially have the equivalent of the BB Movie Pass whether it's rolled into that or not. You just have to manage your DVD by mail movie queue on the BB site...

    Blockbuster.com will allow you to search for the DVD library holdings. That's the 100,000, isn't it? Streaming is another matter.

    Yes, unlimited. Plus you can have a 2-out plan for $15 and a 3-out plan for $20 from what I've read.

    That's not too bad. I dropped them when they were really having problems a few years ago. Maybe they've improved again since then. My distro center was in STL and for whatever reason they just fell apart. They would tell me they sent disks and a week later nothing had shown up. When I would...

    When BBO first started, when you exchanged a mailed disk for an in-store disk, the mailed disk exchanged was immediately credited as having been returned and a new disk mailed from the queue. I would take in 3 mailed DVDs on Tuesday morning to the store, exchange them for 3 in-store DVDs and the...
