BlockBuster is the nation's largest chain of home video rental stores. The company controlled the home video rental industry through its 10,000 store locations nationwide until the launch of www.netflix.com which announced the beginning of a new era and the start of a new industry. Since 1999, BlockBuster had lost a large market share to its online rival. The company fought back with multiple in-store membership plans but could not keep up with the online demand of the industry. In August of 2004 the company officially announced the launch of its online DVD rental store with a powerful 3-at-a-time plan that rivals the Netflix price, but additionally offers 2 in-store rentals per month for free.

Today, Netflix and BlockBuster are the largest two competitors in the DVD rental market, but BlockBuster offers the unique of advantage of renting both movies and games under the same membership in addition to its exclusive 2 free in-store rentals per month. If you are the typical gamer, then a BlockBuster membership is the right product for you. The company holds very high customer service standards and a great customer satisfaction record. As of today, BlockBuster is still an industry leader.
