The three-at-a-time was the same price as Netflix, but you could bring your mail DVDs to the Blockbuster store and exchange them for B&M rentals, and at the same time their scan of your exchange would also trigger the next mailing; you'd get both rather than one or the other. You basically couldn't run out of rentals at any point, and of course they had the selection of literally everything through their website.
I was all about it, but Netflix had already locked down the market.
