ThunderJon used our news submit to tell us "Blockbuster still may be the best overall deal since you get 2 free rentals per month which can be used for in store DVDs or now games!!!--Thunder"

A year ago, Wal-Mart was the first to enter the fray. The bellwether retailer followed its usual strategy of undercutting the market, offering a low-cost $15.54 plan limited to two DVDs at any one time, a middle $18.76 tier allowing three DVDs, and a top $21.99 tier offering four DVDs a month. (This week's price cuts affected only the middle tier.) |
Wow, this is getting hairy, how low can these
prices go? With a gorilla like Wal-Mart now in the picture, the pucker factor has got to be getting intense. This must be a concern for the others that are using the DVD as their only livelyhood. Wal-Mart can make money in other ways, such as selling you a new DVD player so they want you to load up on cheap discs. Don't forget the $1 dollar McDonalds DVD kiosks that allow you to return the disc at any other participating restaurant. This isn't a good business to be in right now if you're trying to make a profit.
