Blockbuster online?
FrizzleFried:
I've had Netflix, Blockbuster and even Walmart Video when they did it. I am back to Netflix. Their website is easier to navigate (at least since the last time I used Blockbuster) and they don't send censored movies like Blockbuster (they have a no NC17 / UNRATED policy).

I just got 1408 unrated version from blockbuster today. So that must be old.

I don't have an opinion on blockbusters service or walmarts for that matter, but I have been a satisfied netflix customer for almost 7 years (Dec 2000). I can't think of a single other pay-service that I've had during that period where I get the same if not better quality of service (netflix has gotten better) and actually pay LESS money.
When I signed up, the 3 at-a-time was $19.99 I think, then briefly jumped up to $21.99 a couple years into it. But then, it dropped down to $18.99 after Netflix actually listened to their customers about their pricing. Since then, it's dropped another $2/mo to $16.99. Amazing.
They've also added a few neat features - instant watching (great on the road or at work ;) ) and their website has definately evolved over the years. I'm not a fanboy, but I'm serious when I say I can't think of another service I pay for that has both gotten cheaper AND better over the past 7 years. Cable? nope...pay more get less. Internet? Gotten better, but pay way more $$$. Phone? nope, again, better service, but more $$$.
I do think the Blockbuster model of allowing you to return to a BB store as well as check out from there intriguing...but my wife absolutely HATES going to rental stores.
:dunno

Must be better shipping to your area... didn't do me much good getting DVDs in pieces.

I've never received a broken disc, but a couple of badly scratched ones have come my way. I've also had exactly 2 discs lost. Also, turnaround is really fast....1 day each way. I mail them back friday, they get them monday, i get new movies either tuesday or wednesday - sometimes processing delays it a day.
