I didn't get a mail order DVD service until about 10 years ago.

Block Buster's was legit as you had the option of returning your movie to a store, picking up a "free" rental, and getting the next movie in your que shipped.

Blockbusters was awesome. I did it in college and kept getting free months by signing up with a new email. I had 3 dvd option.

I liked that you could return the mail dvds to the store and get a free rental. I also really loved their game pass. I miss the hell out of Blockbuster.

Did the Netflix mail DVD many moons ago. Would dial up the site and pick movies on Monday and hope they would arrive for the weekend

I never pay for Netflix. I just keep using different emails for a free trial.

Not quite. The Matrix came out in 1999.

I didn't realize Netflix was that old.
