RentmyDVD seems to be poor for catalog titles but great for New Releases.

Netflix is just the opposite. Better for Catalog titles and worse for New Releases.

Deke,

I'm with you. When I first found them, they were great. Now, more than 75% of my titles are constantly out of stock. A shame.

I just switched from Netflix and thought rentmydvd would be better. I was wrong! At least so far, they seem about the same. They have some titles available that Netflix doesn't and vice versa.

One thing that is definately worse at RMD is their website! The interface pretty much sucks. What a pain in the ass it is to try and re-number your queue. You can't tell what date new releases are coming out. It makes it really hard to put them in any proper order. How about assigning a number to those out of stock movies? Like "You are #25 in the wait queue for this movie". So we'll know if something is really back logged so we won't have to stare at "out of stock" titles for months wondering when it will ever come back in stock.

I'll stick with RMD for two months and see how it goes. Hopefully it gets better.
