Yes, that's where I unload DVDs that I own that are being rereleased (just did it with the Batmans and Titanic). Just go to Blockbuster and set up a trading account (a simple process). Then hand them the DVD you want to trade.

If it's in good condition (no scratches), then they will scan it and tell you how much you'll get for it. Then you say yay or nay and you'll get that much in store credit, which you can apply to renting or buying used or new DVDs. They will usually give you anywhere from $3-7 in credit per DVD, with exceptions, depending on the title (usually lower than higher, now that they've done away with their $5 guarantee).

Could the DVD's be new or old?
Could they be open or sealed?
How about Full House season one, Robert De Niro films and Eddie Murphy films?
Do you need a Block Buster Card to make a trade or to get store credit.

Thanks for your help Aaron.

Yes, the DVDs can be new or old, as long as the disc doesn't have any noticeable scratches on it (it's up to the employee which ones get accepted- they will try to clean them before rejecting them).

They can be open or sealed; however, that won't make any difference in how much you get.

I don't think they have any policy against Robert de Niro or Eddie Murphy, Pals. ;)

I know that they will accept season sets like Full House (why would you want to get rid of that :roll:), but I've never done that, so I don't know how it works, or how much you might get.

Yes, I do believe that you will need a Blockbuster account to set up a Trader Account and to get store credit.

I took about $500.00 worth of dvd's and games in to blockbuster and was only going to be allowed $40.00 . You do better to sale on ebay or yardsale the ones you don't need.
If I did not have my Disney Collection of Movies!!!!! My kids would drive me Crazy!
