Blockbuster scraps late return fines, or does it?

Blockbuster, the biggest video/DVD rental company in the US, is scrapping fines on late returns from January 1 – but if you keep them too long, you buy them.

Blockbuster announce it will continue to set due return dates, with one week for games and two days or one week for movies, but will give customers a one week grace period at no additional charge, beginning on New Year’s Day.
