Comments: I'm back to Blockbuster online. I use to be a NFLX subscriber, but no being able to get many of the new releases has turned me back to Blockbuster. The turn around time is great and I can get new releases at the stores when I want them. Netflix has lost my business, I now use Blockbuster on line and I am loving the convenience and service.

outstanding service, i never watched so many movies until i signed up for this.. i currently have the one out at a time and get two to three movies a week in the mail and 2 or 3 from the store by returning the mailer to the store and taking another one off the shelf. i get about 16 movies a month for 9.99 , i could get a few more if if i really wanted to.. HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and TMC all cancelled saving about $24 a month and i watch what i want not what they want..

A real disappointment. I tried Blockbuster on-line and now realized that I should've known better than to trust the industry leader in LATE FEES. Movies took over a week to get so I went to Netflix and now I get movies consistently in 3 days from when I drop one in the mailbox. Who cares about coupons that expire when you don't get what you pay for: which is On-Line movie rental. Blockbuster just can't deliver and I am now VERY happy with Netflix. Blockbuster could give me 20 movie rental coupons a month and I wouldn't care. The whole point of on-line movies by mail is so that I don't HAVE to go down to their strip mall location. Lousy service and poor follow through, I should've known.

I've been with them for about 5 months now. All my movies get here in 2 days and get there in 1-2 days, mainly because I live in Phoenix, AZ and they have a distributing center about 15 miles away. The 2 free game or movie rentals are GREAT! I now rent 2 games every month for free. There was a time when a lot of my movies were on short wait, but lately everything I want to see is available now. Blockbuster is great and I reccomend it.

Holidays seem to throw them into total inability to operate properly. While my leg was broken and going to the local video store was out of the question, this service was GREAT during the summer. Now, it stinks on ice. Service is slooooowww - maybe a week later I get what I ordered. The new releases I chose have been skipped over for over two months now - I no longer consider them new releases since everyone I know has seen them except for me. DVDs are frequently the wrong one, useless, damaged, or whatever. If you like getting movies three months after everyone else - this is the service for you. Perks - they do send out new ones as soon as you report the issue, they don't wait until they receive the DVD back, but it averages out to about $20 a month for maybe two viewable movies lately - not really worth it. At that rate, I'll finish watching all of this month's new releases a year from now by the time Blockbuster sorts out their poor service issues. Time to cancel!

I've tried Wal-Mart and NetFlix online DVD rentals. I switched to Blockbuster to get the two free in-store rentals each month. It's not worth it! Turnaround-time was 4 days on average (vs. 2 for NetFlix). In my one month as a subscriber I received one wrong DVD (a title I hadn't requested) and one broken DVD, neither of which ever happened over my combined year of experience with the two competitors. Two thumbs down.

Why have premium cable channels with this you can pick any movie you want, their web site just keeps getting better too, and they have very fast delivery.

Blockbuster was good value for money at the introductory rate of $14.95/mo for 3-at-a-time. The turnaround was a little slow, and the customer service horrible. Netfix is FAR superior: better selection, faster turnaround, and much better recommendations. Avoid the crooks at Intelliflix at all costs The first clue is the "Superpass extended" banner. It just happens to be available until today . . or tomorrow . . . or permanently. Turnaround time is abysmal (a week is typical) and after I cancelled they stalled for a month, charged for that month and for movies they'd shipped which I hadn't requested on a per movie basis.

Having used Netflix for 1 year, and having received the "throttling treatment", I headed over to Blockbuster to try their service. Here is my experience, your mileage may vary. I signed up for an account, and filled my queue with 35 movies. All were available. The next day I received an email from Blockbuster stating that my first movie had shipped. I waited, and waited and waited, and never received a movie. Please note, I am only 50 miles from a distribution center. I informed Blockbuster that I never received the movie, and they "resent it." Guess what? Again, I received nothing. Netflix might throttle, but my experience with Blockbuster was horrible. 2 weeks and I received absolutely zero movies to my door. When are these companies going to learn that folks like me would be willing to pay extra movie for a service that: a) worked, and b) didn't throttle? Ho, hum. Back to Netflix, I guess.
