Blockbuster trialing HD DVD and Blu-ray rentals at brick & mortar locations {Engadget HD}

Dec 19th 2006 2:59PM Blockbuster is always behind everyone else.

I've been using a place in Chicago called the Video Strip on South Archer Ave.

Blockbuster over here doesn't even have anything. This place has both HD & Blu-Ray

I am currently one of only two Blu-Ray DVD customers but the owner has allowed me to pick the titles for the shop. He told me whatever I want he'd bring in. Can't beat that option. His selection of regular DVD titles are awesome, he even rents out box sets as one rental. No addtional charge.

Most of my Blu-Ray picks are upcoming titles but he's been good about getting them on release date. Just got Superman Returns on release date rented 3 DVDs for only 6.99 for 7 days. Thats a afternoon deal they do on weekdays (M-W). I can't complain about that option.

I just can't wait for Goodfellas!
