[quote=Anonymous]I quit working at Blockbuster when I finished college (2005). At the time, it was about $4.50 plus tax to rent a movie. We used to use that as a selling point for our $15 movie pass. "For the price of three movies, you can have unlimited rentals all month!" It's part of the reason Redbox and Netflix was so successful. Redbox was a dollar and Netflix was $7.99 for movies in the mail. We couldn't compete. Even back then, cable still charged about $5 to rent a movie "on demand." This was back before everyone had high speed internet and before there was competition like Netflix and Amazon streaming. If you factor inflation and the competition between all of the streaming options these days, I think $5 is pretty reasonable. Even Redbox has doubled in price for their blurays since way back then.
