Blockbuster have their own exclusive movies. Blockbuster costs more than Netflix but with BB, you can drop movies off at local and get movies on the same day. No brainer - BB >>> Netflix
 
I prefer Netflix.

I've tried Blockbuster before but at least two to three times during the BB membership my DVD rental would get lost in the mail.... Frustrating!

NF membership - never had a problem with DVD rentals disappearing during transit. Plus I love, love, love foreign and independent films - NF's collection in foreign and independent cinema beats BB's collection. BB is far too family-conscious in company's DVD selections. Plus I don't have a car - c'mon.

Conclusion: NF wins, hands down. LOL

Blockbuster Online and Netflix both have their share of missing DVDs. You just got lucky.

I have a friend who used to be with Netflix. His DVDs were late or sometimes missing.

I was a member of Netflix once. When I decided to cancel my membership, they still charged my credit card for the next 3 months regardless of what I tried to do with them. First, I canceled online. I got my next credit card bill... $20 charge. I called and they said I never canceled, but told me to try again. So, I did. They said I was fine. Next month, same problem. Next month, same problem. After the third time, I yelled at them and told them to do it themselves and that if it happened again, I would call and speak with the supervisor. It stopped. :)

:cheers: I love Netflix, and I never have to worry about late
fees, even also TV programs on DVD, and other many titles are not
available in rent stores. :)

That's another feature I like about Blockbuster Online.

I use those coupons and free rentals for the new releases. :)

yeah but now they're taking away those e-coupons. I remember they said you could bring the dvds in and exchange them for another move in the store (unlimited) - NOW they're saying it's limited to 5 a month.

So? Five is enough for me.

They usually release about 5 new movies every month anyway. That's just the right amount of free rentals I need anyway. As for the e-coupons, I still get one of those every month. That gives me 6 free rentals every month. :)

They do also have an option of unlimited trade-in instead of 5, but it costs more. I'm not worried anyway.

When it was unlimited for me, I thought it was perfect. However, I realized that it was much more than I needed. I often ended up with extra DVDs that I didn't watch until 2 or 3 weeks later... or didn't watch them at all.

As for your "BUT"... they may reduce the trade-ins from unlimited to 5-per-month, but that's still more than Netflix. ;)
