I check out 3 movies online + E-coupon once a month, return movies when I'm done, receive three more titles for the movies I return (Free!)+ E-coupon. So that makes four movies or games Free! (I dont recall netflix having games?). While checking in my movies at the blockbuster and receiving my free rentals, the next titles in my qeue are sent out which get to me in about one day! so lets do the math. 3 movies (online geue) + 3 Free instore rentals + Free e-coupon rental + 3 more title mailed out from online geue = 10 DVD's!!! all done within one week! and I could do this about 3 to 4 times a month! all for only $17.99 a month. Are you serious theres no argument here, I dont care what kind of experience you've had with blockbuster you cant beat that deal! for the record I tried netflix and the turn around time was 3 days which is ridiculous! but like I said theres no arguement here u netflixers need to just go ahead and switch over and this thread needs to be closed!

I think the final straw for me was after Hurricane Wilma here in Florida. They charged me a late fee even though no one had electricty and nothing was open. They managed to open one day and said I could have returned the movie then. Like we didn't have other things to worry about. I subscribe to Netflix and love it. Blockbuster deserves to go bankrupt.

I did Blockbuster's free trial and what I discovered was that their selection was nowhere near as extensive as Netflix. Now, I'm no movie snob (a good movie is a good movie, period), but I do watch a fair amount of foreign films (both recent and classic), documentaries of all kinds, and some obscure cult classics, and I discovered that Blockbuster's selection didn't carry many of the movies I was interested in watching. In addition, I never had a problem with turnaround time with Netflix, so I've never really had a reason to complain. So unless Blockbuster has improved their selection of movies to match that of Netflix in the past couple of years, I don't foresee myself switching. Blockbuster is "blockbuster," after all, so if your movie tastes tend to be more on the eclectic side, I'd say you'd be more pleased with Netflix. I’m with Netflix and will continue to be.

I'm finished with chain brick and morter and that includes BlockBuster. I do almost everything on line now.
