Man...between posts has been awhile, but I searched netflix and this is what i got...

i love the damn thing. i am on the 2 at a time plan, which is plenty for me. so many movies i always see the previews and say that i wanna watch it but everytime i go to the movie store i end up with late charges. netflix doesn't hate me yet cause i keep getting a good turnaround. watched alpha dog friday (horrible!) and ray earlier today (good stuff). got sin city and walk the line on the way. for $14 a month. i would spend that on 2 movies from my store with 2 rentals.

If you have a Blockbuster near you their online program is 1000000 times better. Same turn around plus you get as many in store rentals as mailers.

I can vouch for that. I've got nothing but wonderful things to say about blockbuster's online program, especially now that I can also trade in my movies in the store (for a free rental) and they'll mail my DVD back for me, so the next one in my queue gets shipped. Works for me, at least. :)

The only problem that I've had with Blockbuster is that I get so many movies that I'm out of movies that I want to see.

Bonuses:
- Only have to wait for the movies in the mail one way if you take them back to the store.
- Get a free in store rental for every movie they ship you.
- Get one free game rental per month.
- Get new movies the day they come out if you return movies to the store on Tuesday.

I use Netflix. I have used them for years now, got started when they were still fairly new. Some turnaround issues now and again but nothing I've ever really had cause to complain about. I try to avoid putting "New Releases" in my queue so I can't say anything about that issue. I like that I can up my membership or lower it, at will based on my use.

I went thru a period where I was getting in 2-3 at a time, copying them, and sending them back. I only did that for about a year but never really saw a "throttling" due to my rapid turnaround. There is a real problem with that, as the google searches will show but I have not had an issue.

OH, and I like their "used cd sale" section. Nice selection, nice pricing, and good condition.

Unfortunately, I do not! Family Video and a couple mom-and-pop establishments.

One thing I forgot to mention, I guess, is the Watch Online option. I spend $14 a month for my plan, so they give me 14 hours worth of stuff I can watch directly on my computer at home almost instantaneously. I use this offer to catch up on The Office and other TV shows I can't get enough of. Pretty nice option, I don't know if Blockbuster does this or not.

I think that must be how they are trying to counter Blockbuster and would be good for me except that I drive by a Blockbuster on the way home, and download any tv shows that I want from bit torrent.

I don't believe they do have that option. They do, however, have the option to check out each disc of the tv shows that are available. I've been watching The West Wing ever since I signed up. Finally catching up on all those seasons I missed. :)

I've had Netflix since before the class action suit. I was actually invited to be a part of it if I really wanted.

Netflix is the super poop and I preach it's gospel to all who will listen.

I'm on the 6-at-a-time plan

Blockbuster says it may not be able to continue

In regulatory filing, it discloses auditor doesn’t see future for company

Last week, Blockbuster said its revolving and term loan agreement was amended, giving it a $250 million revolving loan refinancing that matures on Sept. 30, 2010. Lenders including JPMorgan also agreed to waive any default that could result if auditors attached a “going concern” classification.But on Monday, the company said its lenders’ obligation to fund the $250 million credit facility is subject to meeting certain conditions, and there can be no assurances that these conditions will be met.
Even if the loan is funded, the company said it “may not have sufficient liquidity to finance the ongoing obligations of our business, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.”
