Blockbusters turn
 

I posted this over at DVDBargains...

Netflix vs Blockbuster Battle Has Begun
You have to love competition. First Netflix and now Blockbuster.

Anyone in DFW area tried BBV online rental?

I am using Netflix and they have a shipping center in the DFW area so movies get here within 1-2 days.

I was wondering if BBV was similar. Thanks.

Just and update on my account at the $15.99/unlimited price (see page two) from the "View Membership Terms" page:

So BB is slightly cheaper than netflix, but I'll still stick with netflix.

$15.99 for 3 out? That's likely a ploy to get new users.

I didn't recieve an email where netflix said they switched me. Did anyone else can the email?

My account page currently says this:

:whofart: I guess that means the current period was billed at $21.99 and the next one will be $17.99...

Has anyone else had their Netflix service degrade since the price cut? Before the price cut, my movies ALWAYS shipped the same day that they received them. Since the price cut, my movies ALWAYS ship the next day after receiving them. And all were listed as "available Now". Is anyone else experiencing this trend?

I emailed them about it and their response was that their policy is that movies will be sent out within 24 hours.

I guess that is one way to save money for them.

So Blockbuster's mail service is now cheaper, with 3 titles out at a time, than it's in-store Movie Pass, which allows for only 2 out at a time?

That's tempting, especially since I'd save about $10 a month with tax. The only difference is that I can stop off in the store every day after work, instead of relying on the postal service, and get up to 10 titles a week with more on the weekend. Still, at some point you run out of titles because the B&Ms can't carry a library as big.

Does anyone know when the promised Blockbuster combo service is supposed to start?

It's worth $0.50 a month to not give money to Blockbuster... :D

If I send on Monday, they recieve them on Tuesday, they send out the next ones in my queue, I get the new ones on Wednesday.


AND netflix still has better service.

Don't look for Blockbuster to set any records getting you your movies. I e-mailed them complaining about it about a month ago and was told that they have a scheme to speed things up in the next two months.

For my money Netflix does a splendid job.

I live in Plano and tried the Blockbuster service for the two week trial and for one full paid month.

The shipping times were just as fast as Netflix, but Blockbuster would just randomly ship things from my queue, and they'd sometimes not check movies in as received until very late in the day (and then not ship out a replacement disc until the next day).

Overall, the service was slower (but not considerably so), and it was annoying to not really know what you were going to get shipped to you (the queue was completely useless as a tool of preference. They would routinely skip over dozens of discs listed as "available now" when choosing the next disc to send).
