Industry-firsts include enhanced customer experience with favorites list and up to three rentals at onceDULUTH, Ga., Mar 11, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NCR has just made renting a DVD from BLOCKBUSTER Express(TM)-branded kiosks faster and easier, now allowing customers to rent DVDs online for $1 per night at blockbusterexpress.com. Through the new rent online feature at blockbusterexpress.com, customers can create a favorites list, browse available titles at their preferred kiosk, complete the rental of up to three titles at once online and then pick up their DVDs from the kiosk at their convenience.1 These new rent online features enhance the home entertainment experience: movie fans spend less time renting and more time enjoying their DVDs.

NCR is encouraging new customers to try the rent online feature by offering one night of free rental by using the code "GY131" while renting at blockbusterexpress.com.²

Blockbusterexpress.com features a number of new enhancements not found on competing kiosk sites. NCR lets customers make a list of the movies they want to see and access that list for quick rental from anywhere on the site. Customers can rent three movies at once, unlike other sites that allow rental of only one DVD at a time.

Blockbusterexpress.com also lets customers identify their "preferred kiosk", so that whenever they browse for DVDs online, they automatically browse the titles available at the kiosk most convenient to them. This new feature will also allow them to find a title at other kiosks nearby if it is checked out at their preferred kiosk.

"We wanted to create the best online rental experience in the business, so we put our customers first when we designed the new blockbusterexpress.com. With our new site, you can rent online and the movies you want will be waiting for you at the kiosk," said Alex Camara, vice president and general manager, NCR Entertainment. "Through our new web experience, our customers will find a faster and easier way to rent a DVD at the same great price."

NCR BLOCKBUSTER Express-branded kiosks offer DVD rentals for only $1 per night with no membership requirement. Customers simply swipe their credit card and are charged $1 per night until they return the DVD to any BLOCKBUSTER Express kiosk - not just where they originally rented the DVD. Through the new reserve online feature, customers can pay online with their credit card and pick up their DVD at a selected kiosk.
