Ive noticed that the price structure is the same for both.

Im leaning twards netflix .

I know locale matters so for Middlesex County NJ:

Netflix - Had it for 3 weeks,
first week: DVDs had 1 day turn around, Return DVD on Monday, receive new DVD on Wednesday.
second/third week: DVDs would take 3 days for them to process. For example, if I return two DVDs on Monday, they would take a few days to process one, while the other would process immediatly. DVDs re

Bottom Line: Did not meet my expectations, turnaround time was too long and inconsistent.

BlockBuster: had it for 2 months (still using it)
Has been consistently delivering short turnarounds since I started. Monday returns, brings new DVD in on Wednesday. Plus each week I get a coupon for a free instore rental.

Bottom line: consistent turnaround times, plus extra DVD a week with coupon.

i've only used blockbuster online. when i was in houston it was awesome because a shipipng center was near by and the turnaround was never more than 2 days. when i used it in austin it was considerably longer so i dropped the service.
