Blockbuster has added nationwide game rentals to its $8.99-and-up monthly “Blockbuster By Mail” service. Game rentals by mail had been tested in various markets around the country but are now available everywhere.

The pricing, which includes one game or movie out at a time for $8.99 or multiple combinations of games and movies with more expensive plans, is competitive with games-only rental company, GameFly, with the added bonus of being able to choose either movies or games.

It’s still missing the streaming movie options you get with Netflix but if you’re in a household that actively rents both games and movies, it might be a welcome middle ground.
