I safely stayed under the radar. I'm currently grandfathered in at 17.99/month still with unlimited in-store exchanges. And I still get the additional free game or movie rental per month.

The current 17.99/month plan is limited to 5 in-store exchanges and unlimited through the mail. I use about that on average anyway, maybe a little more, so I'm glad I have the opportunity to abuse it as some point later :D

I was grandfathered in too. They changed me about 2 weeks ago.


For me, it was a week ago.

Since BB changed their plan, I've seen a HUGE DECREASE in availability of my movies in the que (obviously, since people now are forced to get their movies online instead of in store).

MANY of my movies (new & obscure titles) are long wait, very long wait or short wait.

Basically, their availability sucks by a huge margin.

In essence, unless you upgrade your plan to unlimited store rentals, the BB plan is tremendously substandard vs. Netflix!
