Maybe Blockbuster online is NOT SO MUCH BETTER

Posted by jsm on July 27, 2011 at 12:58:09:
While I am ticked at Netfilx price increases ( and I am one their earliest subscribers), at least they unlimited streamimg for one price. With Blockbuster you have to pay for each video you stream, regardless if you are also on a rental plan. So far I have never received from Netflix an ordinary DVD when there is also a Blu-ray version; Neflix always sends me the blu-ray version. So if streaming is important to you, then perhaps Bolckbuster isn't that much better. Incidentally, I usually get blu-ray quality on my streaming from Netflix if the original is available in HD as well as excellent multichannel sound.. Amazon also provides excellent streaming service at a fixed fee, but I like to be able to rent discs as well as stream. The biggest problem for me is that I find it extremely difficult to find anything that I consider worth watching- no more than five of the new movies each year. But that's my problem.
