With blockbuster dvd by mail, that was no longer be an issue, as you could just drive to the store and swap it for something you wanted.
Man, and for a while if you had the "2 DVDs at once" plan, you could get them in the mail, return them to the store, AND pick up free movies at the store while waiting for the next ones from your queue to come in the mail. So it was basically double the movies. It was awesome.
I was unemployed for a bit when they had this program.
