Well i had netflix i loved it for the first month then came ps3 instant streaming then i was so dissapointed because they alot of junk novies and the decent movies arent hd and they look like crap they look better when i download them from stagevu.com anyways thats not it ived had halloween and 9 saved on my que for awhile and they send me a mpvie that was on the bottom wtf so ived been waiting 2 weeks for 9 and nothing so i just canceled netflix and signed up with blockbuster and they dont charge extra for bluray and i can return the movies at the store down my street so my opinion blockbuster is for me because i hate waiting a month for a new release movie.

Netflix. I went to Blockbuster the other day and their drama section had a total of zero movies, only action movies where the protagonist has some conflict with his wife. :|

I've had netflix for over a year, and I've never had the "they sent me a dvd from the bottom of my queue" problem unless the ones above it were on wait.

I don't mind waiting for movies from netflix, either. If I'm renting it, that means I wasn't eager to see it in theaters so it's not like I'm really excited for it. And most of the time, only new movies are on wait.

Where's your choice for neither? Any movie I don't like enough to buy, I can check out from the library for free.

I use Netflix, have never really used Blockbuster. It might be a better idea for me though; there's a Blockbluster a mile or two away from where I live.

Hehe, I used to do that, but I'd always forget about the deadline.

I don't mind since it sends me whatever is next on my queue...I want to see my #2 movie on my queue too, if my #1 is on wait it's not a big deal.

If you only want to watch one or two movies, netflix isn't for you.

Indeed it is. Without streaming, I don't know how I would have ever caught up with shows like Dexter and Lost. :) There's a pretty good selection of movies, too.

I'll admit I don't stream much, even though I do have Netflix. I just like to watch on my TV more. Also, I like to look through the special features on the DVD.

Netflix. Blockbuster doesn't seem to exist around here anymore as they are all pretty much out of business. And the price for renting a movie there is outrageous, I'd pay th same to rent several movies from Netflix.

I really enjoy Netflix. I've never liked Blockbuster. Much like the music clubs back in the day too many bad experiences mean I don't want anything to do with them.
