WRONG AGAIN

No, THEY ARE NOT GETTING THEM IN LATER. THEY ARE NOT 'NEW'.

Netflix keeps just enough blu-rays around to say the have them and to charge an up-charge.

I now have 25 blu-rays in my Blockbuster queue, old and new, NONE OF WHICH ARE AVAILABLE AT NETFLIX.

If netflix just said, 'hey, we're not into blu-rays, too bad' and then didn't charge extra for them I'd have no problem with them.

But charging extra then having an absolutely pathetic selection, and - here's the killer, going from blu-ray (for example, 'Smallville Season 8' to dvd 'Smallville Season 9') is what really blows.

  They're slow on shipping. Netflix is outstanding on that. They get a movie on Tuesday, you get the next movie in your queue on Wednesday.
  
  But their blu-ray selection is outstanding. Every single title I couldn't find at Netflix, they have at Blockbuster. And 5 times a month you can take a disc back to a store for an immediate replacement.
  
  Netflix with 4 discs (I was grandfathered in at a special program) with blu-ray was going to cost me $33.00 a month come January. I cut my Netflix down to $15.00 and Now I pay BB $20. So for $35, an extra two bucks a month, I can get the blu-ray selection of BB and the speedy shipping and streaming video from Netflix.
  
  Still, I'm a simple person. I'd be far happier to give the money to one company. But Netflix got too clever for themselves by far on this deal.
