Blockbuster Canada Gets Competitive With The New 'Blu-ray Favourites Pass'

Movie buffs can now get unlimited Blu-ray and DVD rentals for the introductory price of only $9.99 a month

TORONTO, Sept. 21 /CNW/ -

    
    WHAT:     Blockbuster Canada gives movie enthusiasts everywhere the
              ability to receive unlimited Blu-ray and DVD rentals for the
              introductory price of only $9.99 a month with the new Blu-ray
              Favourites Pass, available right now. Fans will now get a
              chance to see as many favourites as they like (with the
              exception of new releases) for a fraction of the previous
              price. If you rent and return 15 movies in one month, each
              would cost little more than 50 cents per rental!

              Based on the overwhelming success of our Favourites Pass, which
              has sold more than 50,000 since our recent launch, now
              Blockbuster Canada customers will have more choice when it
              comes to choosing how they want to rent their movies. Best of
              all, they don't have to sign up for another service to get
              great deals on their favourite flicks. With the Blu-ray
              Favourites Pass customers can simply head over to their local
              Blockbuster and rent whatever they are in the mood for that
              night. With more than 440 Blockbuster locations across the
              country, Canadians can easily access their favourite movies and
              return them at their leisure.

              Get up to speed on season one of Glee or Modern Family before
              season two starts this week. Planning on going to see some of
              the fall's hottest movies? Check out the series Harry Potter
              movies before going to see Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows
              in theatre this November. Make the kids feel special when they
              get to pick out their personal choices. The more you rent and
              return, the more you save!
