Well, I just kinda got screwed by blockbusters.

I got an e-mail from them saying that they're offering $3.99 a month subscriptions, but since it didn't say for how many movies, I click the link. After that, I signed in and it automatically started my subscription, and what a surprise, it wasn't even $3.99! It was actually $19.99! WTF??

I know you might be thinking that I must have clicked something after signing in that started the subscription, well, you're kind of right. What I clicked on was, "choose a different plan"...........

After clicking that link, it said, "you have successfully started your subscription"....WTF?? I thought I was going to look at a list of plans! lol....blockbusters, you just baffle me..

I quickly canceled it, but knowing blockbusters, they'll probably still charge me and say that it's non-refundable...bastards!

BTW, the reason I had an account to sign into was because I did the 2-week free trial, which was over a year ago...

Just shows how desperate they really are to stay alive another day as they lay like the rich old greedy man who still refuses to give up when he lost the fight long ago.

Yeah, seriously, Netflix is so much better. I don't plan on having anything to do with blockbusters anymore.

haha yeah...I can't believe I missed that!

Well, I think I got it taken care of though. I e-mailed Blockbusters and they said that I won't get billed.
