Best I can tell Netfilx is still the best, even if it cost more.

I have Intelliflix and haven't been to happy with them, though they are getting a little better.

I was with Blockbuster for a while, and my roommate was with Netflix. Netflix was the better service and I switched. The problem with Blockbuster was their availability. If they'd overcome that, it would be alright.

i'm happy with blockbuster so far. one time they had a delay in sending me 2 movies, so they sent me 2 extra from my queue to say they were sorry. :thumbsup:

netflix. i won't give scummy blockbuster a dime. u remember how they raped customers with their shady late fee's..some being bogus. and then they clung on to full screen..and didn't stock unrated directors cuts etc. screw em. every change for the betterhas been forced by netflix

Both are pretty good. Turn around time for me is 1-2 days since they both ship close to where I live. Blockbuster had a lot of short-wait, long-wait while Netflix got things out faster. The downside to Netflix is that they slow your account down if you rent too much.

Define Too Much.

Just signed up for Netflix and I am loving it.

When I started with Netflix I was getting 3 out at a time and I would get 18 or more movies a month. It was fine for about 5 months, then it started to get really slow and my queue went to short wait or long wait for everything.

what i did is
1. use my name to sign up for netflix free trial and then cancel it after a month
2. ditto for blockbuster
3. use my roommate's name to sign up for netflixfree trial and then cancel it after a month
4. ditto for blockbuster
repeat.

netflix and blockbuster never denied our signup. go figure. we never paid a dime.

as for who's the best. I live in San Francisco, can't really tell. both are usually good and sometimes bad (in terms of turnaround time). never got a scratch disc so i am pretty happy
