Blockbuster to raise Total Access prices

DALLAS Blockbuster is raising prices on its Total Access services for new and some current customers.

According to reports, the company sent emails Thursday to existing customers informing them of the price increases, and some price cuts on its DVD-by-mail program.

The standard plan will now cost $19.99 month for new and some existing customers beginning Dec. 27, while the premium plan will increase from $24.99 to $34.99 per month. A basic plan, however, will drop from $4.99 to $3.99 per month.
