Well, they’re not exactly “late fees”

Blockbuster Video’s ballyhooed “no late fees” promotion has, it seems, a little hitch in it.  And the hitch has got it into hot water with the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office.  Turns out that Blockbuster’s contract provides that after eight days, late rentals are merely converted into sales.  The AG’s office say Blockbuster says that this wasn’t disclosed to consumers.  Blockbuster apparently disagrees.
