Netflix vs. Blockbuster

[Shadowman]

I didn't know where else to put this.

Ok, Here's the thing, I'm not sure which one I should get... Because They're both the same amount of money each... but Blockbuster is closer so I think I'd get it a day earlier because I live so close.



Blockbuster--- 55,000 Movies (Same Deal As netflix... but gives me an extra movie per week with 1 free cupon a week for blockbuster's movies which is 3 movies)

Netflix--- 60,000 movies (But those extra 5,000 might just be foren movies.)





Read both websites and tell me what you think I should get. Which is the better dael.



I'M ONLY GETTING THE 2 UNLIMITED MOVIES... THE $14.99 DEAL. SO TELL ME WHICH IS BETTER.

Fuck Blockbuster. You're supporting movie censorship and poor wages. Maybe it'll take a hip Supersize Me flick to open people's eyes to their shit. Total scum. Disney values while behind closed doors there probably fucking their kids (no pun intended).

Netflix seems like the place that would have more obscure stuff kinda like Arovideo over here.

Perhaps even go for a bit of a hunt around and find a local store and support it before Blockbuster put it out of business and full the shelves with bland PC bullshit flicks.

I can't comment on Blockbuster, but I can comment on Netflix as I'm a member.

I've always gotten my movies within a day or two. They have shipping centers all over the country, so it doesn't matter where you live. I've been a member for a couple of years now and I've never had a problem.

Amen to that.

It's a relatively unknown fact that, yes, Blockbuster, censors their movies and I don't just mean that they don't get the Director's cut. They literally, censor stuff out movies. (Bad Lieutenant is one that springs to mind.)

Same goes for WalMart.

Fuck them both.




Go with Netflix. They will send you the unrated director's cut of the same film Blockbuster would send you a censored theatrical cut.

[Shadowman]

but I'm paying the same for both... except blockbuster gives me a free cupon for a movie a week.

[Shadowman]

and maybe only if you want blockbuster to edit them. Why would people get their program so they can watch edited movies when they can do the same for recording a movie on sci-fi? I think blockbuster WILL edit the movies if you ask them to... but they can't do that for the whole store.

Netflix hands down. I've never done the Blockbuster mail thing, but I was with Netflix until I had to cut my unnecessary expenses (movies are important to me, but not as important as, say, electricity).

Netflix is awesome and they have great customer service.

Blockbuster, the company, sucks. I had a membership at their local store once and when I went to cancel it they tried to pull some crap about "early termination fee". I told em to get fucked b/c they didn't have any of my credit card information, so unless I handed them the money, they weren't getting it.

I'm going with NETFLIX... even though I get one movie less... I'll have more choices to pick from. And I heard netflix delivers faster than blockbuster. Does anyone regret my choice?

[hammerfan]

Not at all. You made the right choice.

Walmart screws up sometimes though ..

next time i went back they were gone :)
