I've never dealt with blockbuster so i have no opinion but I love netflix i don't watch enough movies to have to worry about how fast they come in the mail 2 days.
thoughts?

How is this possible? I haven't been in many years but still never dealt with them? Please tell me you've dealt with Hollywood Video or something similar?Posted on 11/28/10 at 9:15 pm to catholictigerfan
I may be wrong but the last time I checked Blockbuster didn't have the watch instantly feature. I could be wrong though.

i was talking about their watch instantly and mail in rental service. I think i've rented from them once or twice Video USA has always been closer to my house.
note blockbuster has a thing called on demand you have to pay for each movie I think not exactly sure.

If you want access to streaming then go with Netflix, if not go with blockbuster.

i think the majority of people would want streaming movies and tv shows so it seems like netflix is better. I would be surprised to find someone who wouldn't want access to thousands of movies/ tv shows when ever they want at no additional cost to their rental service.

Since Netflix doesn't have "Baller Blockin'" I'm considering jumping ship for Blockbuster.

switch for one movie?
why don't you just call around to local rental stores and find it that way.

I have Netflix and have had Blockbuster, and I would recommend Netflix. They also have done deals recently to greatly increase the amount of their streaming, tv series included.

If I were CEO of blockbuster, I'd close every store and put several blockbuster kiosks around town (they already have kiosks like redbox). Invest all money into making a better instant streaming experience than netflix. Also, make mobile apps for your kiosk that allow people to see what movies are available at each kiosk and have the option to reserve a movie (for an hour or something). Also keep DVDs by mail. IMO this would be enough for me to switch. You get the best of both worlds. Instant, plus a selection of new movies available at kiosks if you don't want to wait for them to come in the mail.
If I were CEO of Netflix, I would buy Redbox and implement the ideas above. I mean shite, Netflix colors are already red.
