And in any case, it doesn't really prove anything. The common issue seems to be that the price is too high rather than the price is unclear. Under the circumstances you've described I'd simply take the one marked £4 and expect to pay that price regardless of which was correct.
Blockbuster had online rentals before Lovefilm in the UK, it's an often forgotten fact.

From http://www.fastcompany.com/1690654/bloc ... de-decline2000: Blockbuster declines several offers to purchase Netflix for a mere $50 million. Instead, the company inks a 20-year deal to deliver on-demand movies with Enron Broadband Services, a subsidiary of energy trading giant Enron.

Well put! There is (soon to be was) one close to my Halls of Residence at uni, but any first year student without household bills in their own name are turned away from that Blockbuster. An innovative business would have accepted other forms of ID and maybe a small deposit to be returned after an initial number of rentals or something... but they didn't.
A small independent place across the road took more of a punt on the huge student population of the area, and is still trading well by all accounts. I have a friend that still rents DVDs from there. She's afraid of technology, no smartphone etc.
