Granted, I haven't been to Blockbuster in years, but I'm pretty sure Family Video is still cheaper. Plus, if you get a new release, you get a $1 rental for free. Can't beat that.

That mental iceberg comment made me laugh. Although I must say that you're more willing than I would be. No need for my profs to examine me and discover how sane I really am not. ;)
