Careful with blockbuster online rentals.

Couple of days back, on their website, I searched for movie “LEON”
and search resulted in many matches.
(Basically I saw picture of the DVD cover and read Leon: the professional etc.)
I selected one & added to my queue.
Yesterday I received movie from them & played DVD around 10PM.
Guess what happened. This is a bonus disk.
Contains some experts from stars, director, some other movie previews etc.
Not the movie, not even deleted scenes from the movie.
I am very disappointed.
Later checked blockbuster website.
It was mentioned that in title that it was Bonus disk only.
I am really surprised that people do rent “Just Bonus Disk?”
My wife scolded me. Don’t you read the complete title properly?

I said why somebody rents Bonus disk for movie price?
It is a supplementary DVD right?

My theory was, if you go to shop & buy the DVD movie you will get movie + bonus disks as a package. So if I am renting, I must receive the whole package.
But my theory was dead wrong with this.


This is first time I am renting DVD movies online, so be careful with the titles.
Blockbuster ships “Bonus” disk as movie for $.
Clever business or I am not knowledgeable to understand things properly?

So next time, if you rent movie, make sure you are ordering correct one.
Else you will end up with bonus DVD.
A crazy online DVD rental experience. What about you?
