Thats why I never use Netflix for new movies, I pick those up at the local video store.

I could, but I already go slapped by my isp

Netflix seems to be "throttling" my account..been with them three months now and was using 3 movies a week.

i had the atomic bomb movie on my list for THREE months now. it finally shipped out. when I added it, it was availalbe.. then it went to short wait, long wait, and then super ungodly you'll never get it until next year wait. it should be in my mailbox now tho.. haven't checked the mail

Blockbuster instore rental for $25/month is a great deal considering you can go through multiple movies in a day rather than 3-5 a week from Netflix, not to mention they always have even the new releases.

I prefer Hollywood Video to Blockbuster.

Their plans are:
Standard MVP - 3 out at a time, must return in 5 days, new releases become available after ~4-6 weeks (40 year old virgin is available now). $14.99
Premium (2 out) - 2 out at a time, NO due dates, any movie in the store. $24.99
Premium (3 out) - 3 out at a time, NO due dates, any movie in the store. $29.99

I use their lowest plan because if I already waited for the movie to come out on DVD, I can wait a few more weeks. For the few times I really want to see a new movie, I could pay the $4 rather than paying an extra $10-15 a month.
