As we reported Blockbuster introduced a low $14.99 per month online DVD rental fee in December. Now the largest US video rental chain is trying something new. Blockbuster is offering the first month for $9.99. This offer is also still including two free instore rentals per month.

Blockbuster allows three movies out like the others. Blockbuster also offers now 30,000 titles See our DVD Rental Service Comparison Table.

I wonder how long it takes until Netflix gives in, and also lowers their monthly fee. Until now they have said they will not. It is still $17.99.
