    Netflix or Blockbuster?

    Hello All,

    How do you rent your DVDs?

    I use both, BB for SD & Netflixs for bul-ray. BB is $20 a month & Netflix is $15. Wow, after taxes I spend $40 a month on renatals :E
    It's still cheaper than buying everything IMHO.

    I use the local Blockbuster. I don't rent on-line.

      Same here but I am not happy about it. Until last month, we had a local, independent video rental shop that had an excellent stock, low prices and a sentient staff. They closed because of Netflix and BB on-line-services. Now we are limited to the only other shop in town, BB, and I find their prices much higher and their staff unreliable (most are ignorant and only 1, so far, responds intelligently). Sigh.

        I only use Netflix. We'll see what happens with the rumor that they're going to raise prices for BD rentals.

        Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

          I use both as well... I do love the fact that I can exchange the online rental for BB in-store ...it seems I get more for my buck.

            I use Netflix. Can't complain. Turnaround time is rarely more than 2 days. Though that depends on your location. If they do raise HD fees, I'll leave. It's not a money thing, just that I reject gouging early adopters on principle. Hopefully BB will not do the same.
