What is the Best Way to Rent Movies on the Internet? Blockbuster Total Access or Netflix?

Shortly after online movie rentals became popular, Blockbuster realized they really had to step it up if they wanted to remain relevant in the movie rental business. The days of easy money and endless customers coming through their doors to pick out movies and buy overpriced snacks were certainly nearing an end.

But what could they do about it? Well, as we all know, the old saying is "if you can't beat them, join them." Well I guess that doesn't really apply here, because in my opinion Blockbuster has beat them- for now.

But that is the beauty of competition and free markets. As long as we, the customers let them know what we want and what we are not willing to put up with, whichever company meets our needs best gets our hard earned dollars and everyone wins.

And guess what? If Blockbuster starts acting up or stops providing the most valuable service for the money, I certainly am aware that I have the power to switch back!

Over 85,000 DVD titles to choose from, without ever leaving my house WITH the benefit of returning them to my local Blockbuster for an exchange.

So if I have company coming over TONIGHT and want to grab a few movies, I don't HAVE to wait for new ones to come in the mail if I have already watched the movies I have out. I simply make a quick trip to the local store and exchange them.

I am now also able to DOWNLOAD MOVIES DIRECTLY to my computer. They offer this in two ways, you can either rent the downloads(they expire after a set amount of time) or you can purchase them. Talk about IMMEDIATE gratification!
