BLOCKBUSTER or NETFLIX -- Which is BEST?

BLOCKBUSTER who knock the block off NETFLIX in the battle of the movie rentals. Sure BLOCKBUSTER had their issues early on what with all those reminder telephone calls and late fees. Heck, my hubby and I were surely on their SPEED DIAL as we wanted to put them on the DO NOT CALL list. And, BLOCKBUSTER held our household hostage more than a couple of times when we visited their stores to do in-person rentals.

Let's keep it clean!

BLOCKBUSTER or NETFLIX: Which is BEST?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Yes, you're right! BLOCKBUSTER is best!

David_DeAngelo_Fan says:

Blockbuster all the way! Lovefilm also!

fefe says:

I like getting Blockbuster DVDs in the mail, then taking them back to the store for more movies. Plus I like the free coupon every month that I can rent a video game with from the store. I admit I haven't used Netflix for a few years, but it was slow then and a movie got lost in the mail. I get Blockbuster movies FAST.

scubadoctor says:

I frequent Blockbuster!

No way, Monkeybrain! NETFLIX is better!

netflicks. faster returns.

Mike says:

During the years of Blockbuster's evil near-monopoly of rentable home entertainment, I prayed for their destruction. When NetFlix launched, I was delighted to see the beginning of their end.

Now that they also offer an online/in-store rental system, apparently all they can provide is a store full of shelves that lack the movie you actually want.

Why won't they just sell their real estate to fast food franchises already?
