Coincidence this may have happened shortly after Blockbuster announced its siding with Blu Ray?

What does this have to do with anything? Most of the people renting dvds don't want or even know what blu ray or HD DVD is anyway.
Does Netflix rent Blu Ray or HD DVD?

Re: Netflix reports first drop in subscriptions
 

both

Re: Netflix reports first drop in subscriptions
 

Yep, wich is why I am considering going to them. Blockbuster and Hollywood Video don't carry Blu-Ray in my area yet (have to go 2 cities away) so if they don't hurry up, netflix it is...

Re: Netflix reports first drop in subscriptions
 

lol, yeah because as well all know HD movies sales are huge! Get a clue. Unlike BB, Netflix carries BOTH FORMATS in their entirety, a better choice. They don't make the choice for consumers.

Oh and netflix dropped prices. Btw Blockbuster version of netflix sucks the wait is SOOO LONG its ridiculous, we had to wait 2 weeks to get a movie....

Yeah I am on the trial for BB online right now, it's sh*tty compared to netflix. Your queue doesn't come in order, at all. They'll just send you whichever one they feel like, even if the first in your queue is in fact available. In fact, I have 10 movies in my queue, all older movies so no reason why they should be all rented out, yet they just sent me the second to the last movie in my queue.

I had the queue specially laid out so that I could watch the sequels in order, but apparently that doesn't mean sh*t to blockbuster.

With netflix my queue was ALWAYS in order unless the title simply wasn't available at the time.

Also, why is it taking 5 business days between when I send out a movie, and the movie actually arrives here? That is a ridiculously long time. Netflix the max turnaround time was 3 days.

As soon as my bb online trial expires, I am canceling it.

I'm pretty sure the consumer had some say in it.

It is probably the area. I always get a new movie within 2 days, (If I returned my movies earlier in the day I'd have one next day) but I'm sure there is a lot less traffic for them around here. The probably need to expand their services in that area.

When we rented from Blockbastards online it would only take a max of 3 days to get there.

We tried the Netflix trial. First thing we rented was Deadzone season 2 (we already owned Season 1). They sent us disc 4 first. We called and asked why, and they said that the first 3 discs were not available. We said "it's a season, not a movie, if you don't have the discs in order, skip to one of our movie choices).
