Re: No choice for Netflix

said by inteller:

Netflix is going to have their ass handed to them by Blockbuster and this new bring it to the store plan. This is the best flexing of brick and mortar muscle I have seen. People aren't going to futz with streaming download bullshit for hours when they can go down the block to their blockbuster and drop off the movie and get another one.

If I had stock in netflix, I'd be selling.
You can only return movies not rent any but 1 a month with Blockbuster. And, look at the crappy selection at local stores that are smaller than Burger King.

Most of the ones here have been closed down.

It all depends on where you live; the closest Blockbuster is over 25 minutes away, and it's not a particularly large one at that.

BZZZZT! Wrong answer. I dropped Netflix ages ago due to crappy delivery. With the new blockbuster system, I can take all three of my envelopes down do to the store and here's what happens:

1) I get 3 rentals of my choice
2) The next day the movies clear my queue
3) My next 3 movies ship.

So, in total, I now have 6 movies when I'm only paying to rent 3.

Explain to me, exactly, how that is only renting on movie per month? Or how that's only able to "return movies"?

Do some research on how it really works before spouting off garbage.
