Walmart offers an alternative to Netflix DVD rental Service. Competition is always great for the consumer!

Walmart offers right now a 30 day free trial of their DVD Rental Service.

Currently Walmart's rental fees are lower than Netflix.

Update: 08/12/04: Blockbuster starts Online DVD Rental Service.
Blockbuster charges $19.99 per month for 3 movies out. Additionally customers get two in-store rental free each month. Blockbuster offers a 2 week free trial.

DVD rental Fee Comparison:

Movies Out	Walmart / month	Netflix / month	Blockbuster /month
2	$15.54	n/a	n/a
3	$17.36	$17.99	$14.99
4	$21.94	n/a	n/a

I use Netflix since a long long time and its great. It could be better though. Wait times are long on new releases. Real competition like a from a huge retailer like Walmart can spice things up.
