Hollywood Video and their powerplay plan

By mrnivek March 13, 2009 3 Comments

I was in pretty good spirits after work today looking forward to the weekend and playing some Resident Evil 5 co-op later with a friend when the above pamphlet was handed to me while I was checking out…

I currently have a game plan at my local Hollywood Video and have never been disappointed with the one out at a time program similar to Netflix and movies or Blockbusters game plan. The best thing about it was that this particular store doesn’t get hit like the other video stores and Blockbuster and I could always get a new game the day it came out. It has been a great deal for the past year.

But today the lady at the register tells me I need to switch to this powerplay plan and says the power play plan closest to the $19.99 videogame plan I currently have is the Diamond $39.99 plan…. This is looking like quite the rip off and I guess it is time to move on and try some other service.  Tried calling the Hollywood Video customer service line listed on the pamphlet but sat on hold for awhile with no luck.

Later I checked the Hollywood Video website and I don’t get the feeling that I have to make a switch and can keep my old plan. So maybe there is some hope that if I do nothing I can just hold on to the old plan.
