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.
