No more late fees

Big news for people like me who have a very hard time returning movies to Blockbuster by the due date, they are getting rid of late fees.

Apparently there will still be a due date for video games, tapes and DVDs, but there will be a one week grace period after that, then they will sell it to you minus the rental fee. If you don't want to buy that copy of CHUD II: Bud the CHUD, you have 30 days to return it and you will get store credit for your next rental. I think this is great and I can't wait for this to start January 1. I wonder if that means I'll still owe them the $7.31 for not returning Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman on time.
