On February 18, 2005 the Attorney General of New Jersey filed suit[4] against Blockbuster, alleging that it had failed to clearly disclose the terms of the new policy, and that some franchises were not participating in the program, had shorter grace periods, or charged higher restocking fees.
Blockbuster's 2004 annual report claimed that approximately half of the franchises were participating, and that could leave a few hundred (less than 10% of all US stores) that have opted not to participate in said policy.

Hollywood Video and other movie rental stores were available for review, which led me to believe that Blockbuster Video had specifically asked to be excluded from the database of a major consumer review site.

 Blockbuster Video = No Late Fees

Well, Blockbuster is also getting sued over this in many states seeing as how after a certain time period they will charge you te FULL price of teh movie if you dont return it and then if you do return it after that point the charge you a 'restocking fee'..
