Which one do you have? I currently have BB online but they recently changed my plan. My original plan was 3 at a time with unlimited in store exchanges and 2 e-coupons for $17.99 a month. Now they changed it to 3 at a time with 5 in store exchanges and NO 2 e coupons for $17.99 I am thinking about changing over to Netflix because they have a wider variety of dvds.

Which service do you have? (if you have one) and why did you pick that one over the other?
 
We have Netflix....we chose it because they have a wide selection of DVD movies avialable. I don't know if Blockbuster has caught up. :) Either way is probably the same deal since they're both competiting for each other.
 
I have netflix, I like it, I don't need cable TV because there are a lot of TV series' that I havn't seen. Though some times it seems that Netflix hates deaf people, you can't trust the CC information on the website, (sometimes it says it's captioned but isn't and vice versa) I've tried contacting them about it but they just pass the buck, also they have a "watch now" video streaming service but no CC on that and apparently no intention to add it. To top it all off they discontinued e-mail support, and now it's phone only. I'm tempted to call them up and ask why they hate deaf people. even with these problems though getting the 4 at a time plan is cheaper than cable.

That sounds like Foxtel to me, in Australia.... The full featured movies aren't CC'd ---- dammmit... but they willplan to add it in the next year :o
 
Netflix rocks easy to get DVD you want to watch.

Never have any issues with them since. I always check if DVD have subtile or caption before I select them to put in query ;)
 
I have Blockbuster Online and never really had problems with finding DVDs I wanted.

I've never heard of Netflix having more selections than Blockbuster Online. I always thought they were both the same.

I have one friend who is a member of Netflix. He decided to join Blockbuster Online, but remained a member of Netflix. Now, he gets 6 DVDs a month from both companies... :roll:
 
My family uses Blockbuster Online, but that's only because you also get cupons you can use to rent videos from the store.

That's another feature I like about Blockbuster Online.

I use those coupons and free rentals for the new releases. :)
 
I have Netflix, I had no problem with Netflix since December 2004. It's great service! :)

I feel sorry about hard time for you, but I glad I am living with my mother, she is hearing. Lucky me.
But maybe, you can ask your family relative who set-up to call for you.
 
I'm a member of BB Online. Once you get a DVD from mail. You can turn it in the store, you get a rental-DVD for free from the store.
 
I don't order any rental movies from online, I usually go to the Hollywood Video Store.
 
I never rent DVD movies from online website.
 
Oh my goodness I love NETFLIX its very nice and easy I dont have to worry about past due not at all.... and much cheaper so I can watch all I want. :)
 
I have had both services (have BB now) and I think they're generally pretty much the same. The turn around for our movies by mail is 2 days.
