martymankins, yup, and I know that if I had the same requirements as you, I never would have left Netflix. But the on-demand give-me-my-fix-in-the-store-now feature is what makes the difference for me. When I was a netflix customer, I still paid money in the store and I needed to reduce my monthly expenses for movie watching.

Thanx for stopping by!

I tried BB service when they first started and had a couple of delivery issues, but then stopped it before the end of the first month free trial.

Then I got a “Come Back To Us” email from BB when they started the option to return the movies to the store. That lasted a few weeks before they told me I was renting too many movies (I had only rented 6 in 3 weeks). WHAT?? Too many?? That’s pretty good for me.

So I’ve decided that Netflix, with it’s awesome selection of obscure films, gets my money each month (I do the 2 out at a time, unlimited for $13.95/mo)

1. They won’t carry NC-17 movies.
2. They are f***ng baptists and they contribute to the cause, like Dominos that is pro-life and contributes corporate monies to fund pro-life groups.

Ren, yeah, I was warned and warned but I did cancel BBO long ago when I had unlimited exchanges and when I re-upped, it was more expensive and now I’m limited. Much sadness.

Jen, not heard of that! but that’s why I blog - so I can find out cool info from cool people.

Amanda, I was a semi-early adopter of netflix, but not blockbuster. It took me a while to get to it because I just assumed it would suck.

ajooja, yeah, and that’s where we differ. I don’t have much taste. I like lots of things and don’t have a discriminating palate when it comes to movies.

Hilly, I don’t remember the netflix interface enough to care, and usually, GUI failings don’t bother me much as long as I can find a way around them.

Netflix just works better for me. I don’t mind waiting for a movie at the top of my list every now and then because I’ve got plenty of of films I need to see. It’s not like I won’t ever get to see it.
