Wal-Mart could probably offer this service for FREE and still make money. If they get you go to into their store every couple of days to return/get a video, you're going to buy other stuff, too.

I use and love Netflix. I don't have to worry about GOING anywhere to get or return a video. If Wal-Mart were to combine both MAIL and IN-STORE services, that would be FANTASTIC. I.e. I could get a video in the mail, but return it at the store, or get one at the store, and drop it in the mail when I'm done.

I like Wal-Mart, but wouldn't relish the thought of going there every few days. It's just a plain hassle. Once or twice a month is enough for me.

They can't patent a process can they, if thats the case then I am going to patent wiping your ass from front to back. So I at least get a nickel every time someone does it.

Hey walmart does have a mail service. I am a member of netflix. I pay like 34$ for 5 movies at time. Walmart offers 4 movies for 21.99$ Guess whos cancelling their netflix subscription. Plus Walmart has a 30 dya trial. Stupid Netflix is only 10 days. Also I have had problems with those bastards at netflix. you send 5 movies back they only get 4 and you have to wait a bunch of days till they tell you they finally received it and will send you your next movie. Screw Netflix
