About a week ago I signed up for a Blockbuster online account ($14.99 per month) and canceled my Netflix membership ($17.99).
I encountered a few problems with Blockbuster:
1) Scratched DVDs (i.e. Open Water and Garden State). I had to clean these DVDs with soapy water to make them playable.
2) Limited selection. I couldn't find A Tale of Two Sisters or The Machinist or Chunking Express in their database. One of the main reasons I began renting online was so I could watch not-available-in-video-stores DVDs like The Wild One or Throne of Blood
3) Movie summaries on Blockbuster's website ought to be shortened to a paragraph, that way users can read a quick lowdown on a film's plot. Netflix does it right on their homepage.
So it's back to using Netflix. Like the old saying, you don't know what you're missing until you don't have it anymore.
On a side note, I ate a Del Taco $0.79 chicken soft taco last Sunday. I think they're a good deal.
