Too little to late...

Blockbuster is going to stagnate for a few years then go the way of the dinosaur. I tried their free month trial and it falls short in every category compared to netflix. The website itself feels unrefined, the search option won't find a movie if it?s off by one letter. Normally it?s not a problem, but there are some very long strange titles that are hard to remember.

Blockbuster takes longer for delivery but kills Netflix with availability of new Blu Rays.

Blockbuster had something going with their policy of receiving a free movie rental in-store when you hand in a movie sent by mail... then they started closing half their stores in my area. That policy made up for their movies taking one day longer than Netflix, then they dropped the ball.

Didn;t the alst company to join with cinema now go up in flames?


BB has to change its prices and seek out consumers not push them away, if they do not change hard and fast they are dead.

Just got an email from BB asking me to resubscribe. They're giving me another two week free trial and are offering 6 free previously viewed dvds ( a coupon for two free dvds per month for the first three months ). They still want me to pay $19.99/month, though...

I got an email from Blockbuster to resubscribe for $10.00 a month for the first 3 months. Thought that was a good deal and resubscribed and then saw they had billed me $19.99 a month with the first 2 weeks free. I sent an email and didn't hear back from them so I canceled and then sent another email to them again and finally got an answer. They gave me the deal I was susposed to get so I signed back up and when I put movies in my list I found out about 75% were on a waiting list. If Netflicks gave a better deal I would go back to them. They always seem to have the tiles I want. Their service seems a little slow sometimes, which is one of the reason I quit them.
