What is the Best Way to Rent Movies on the Internet? Blockbuster Total Access or Netflix?
Ranked #2,500 in Movies & TV, #67,270 overall
Well, I finally made the switch from Netflix to Blockbuster Total Access to rent movies on the internet.
Is Blockbuster or Netflix the best way to rent movies online?
Competition is a beautiful thing.
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!

Why do I rent movies on the internet?
Here are some of the many benefits of using Blockbuster Total Access to rent DVDs online:
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!

Love movies and love your lens. I'm making a new lens on how to make residual income off cell phones. Hope to have it done soon. I wish you amazing success in the lens world.

in reply to allinfoisfree Yeah, not all of the local stores are participating yet, but luckily mine is :)
You're right, Blockbuster Total Access is $3/month more than Netflix. But being able to exchange 5 movies a month at my local Blockbuster makes it more than worth it.
Hopefully your store will start participating soon!

We live around the corner from a Blockbuster, so I'll check this out. I have about 300 DVDs in my library, so I usually end up watching my own stuff.

Our local Block Buster doesn't participate in the online scenerio, so I was told. Also, judging by the prices it seems like Netflix is cheaper. I'm still on the fence about this stuff.

nice lens, Frank - I rated it.
speaking of movie rentals - I was wondering what's your opinion on Movie Cube? That's what I use to rent movies and I quite like it - it's cheap, no line ups... well it's not exactly online but so what :)
