How much is a game rental at Blockbuster?
Seriously, I feel like a moron. I haven't rented a movie or game in excess of 3 years; I have no idea how much these things cost anymore.
If I went out at lunch and picked up a copy of NBA Street 2 at Blockbuster, how much would it cost and how long could I keep it?
Also, how much info do I have to give to get a membership card?

Got a hollywood video nearby? Go to this website :
http://www.geocities.com/rjtebaqvxzux/
Click on Hollywood pdf file.
Print it out.
Up to 3 rentals for .99 each if the store accepts it. If not, take it to Blockbuster as I hear they match competitors coupons.

I hit em every 2 or 3 days with a coupon 
Also, at Hollywood, if you rent a new release movie and return it the next day before Noon IIRC, they give you a $1 credit on your account. Do it often enough, and you'll have free rentals lined up

First time I used it, the guy manually entered something, didn't even look at the coupon.
Second time, the guy was reading the code from the small print.
You may have a problem if you bring in the coupon only, so bring in the sheet as well as the coupon says "May Not Be Printed" but the sheet says above the coupon "Click here to print"
Here is a high res scan of the coupon by itself
The size and dimensions of it should be Width 5.75 Inches, Height 2.95 Inches. I printed it out like that and didn't think it was good so I just bring in the printout and if they give me a hassle, I'll say I got it off their website and I can always call their corporate offices and complain about them not taking coupons off their website

I just wrote the coupon code below the bar code on the back of the printed coupon and told them to enter that when they couldnt scan it. They had no problem doing that, I am actually thinking next time I go, I am just going to say "could you try and enter this code" w/o having a print out, see how that turns out.

Unless you have a really good laser printer it will never scan correctly 98% of the time with the barcode scanner. Mine didn't work either as I used an inkjet, though the girl tried it a few times. Luckily the other girl knew how to enter it in manually and said "let me handle this", though she was pressing a lot of buttons on the computer, it took a few minutes but she got the number code to work I think.

Thay also entered it for me after I said that it was from their website. The manager seemed like he didn't believe me, so next time I'll bring in the entire page printout. Although, everywhere I look on the website there is no way to find that coupon, someone did a good job creating that .pdf I think.
