I've never used Netflix because the kind of issues you raised have been my concern...and have prevented me from renting there.Our local video store charges me $6.75 for 5 DVDs, and I can keep them a week. Some months we watch 20, so it's $27. Some months we only rent 10, so it's $13.50.
It's an excellent store, with a great selection, and we drive by there a couple times a week anyway. Being a regular customer, if I email them with a title they don't have they will buy it if it's available on DVD.
I got a Blockbuster card five years ago and have never used it. All it took was one trip to the store and a quick look. Why would I pay more and choose from a smaller selection of films at Blockbuster?
I'm very happy with my local brick and mortar store.
