    Blockbuster really sucks

    Last week my buddy gave me a gift card for a free month of Blockbuster rental.

    I thought, COOL

    I just noticed how bad they suck compared to Netflix.

    When I signed up to Netflix and ordered my movies, I usually have them in hand in about 2-3 days.

    Blockbuster took over a week ... that's more then a week wasted out of a month.

    The stuff I ordered is old too, so it can't be out of stock.

    Also,

    For TV shows ...
    Netflix lists what episodes are on which discs.
    Blockbuster just lists "disc-1" etc.

    I shouldn't complain because it's a free month for me, but man they suck.

    Netflix is like a wet dream compared to blockbuster.

      I haven't rented from Blockbuster in years. Terribly run company, they will probably be gone soon, they've been literally on life support for quite some time now.

          I just tried to get Little Shop of Horrors the 80's musical

          It say's long wait

          Why ?

          Man, Blockbuster is lousy.

          Almost everything is long wait.

              You don't have to tell me brother I used to work for them like 11 years ago...
              Ah man that really sucked.
              They paid very well though...fifteen cents above minimum wage...LOL
              In order to apply you had to give them a written reason why you would be good for the team...
              And also fill out a 100 question test on movie knowledge then another one on customer relations...*** for fifteen cents above min c'mon guys...LOL

              Ah well it was a real joke anyway.I worked a year for them.

                Blockbuster is a joke...no wonder they are going under...good riddance.

                Netflix has excellent service and the best damn selection on Earth...no wonder they are one of the few companies thriving even in this economy.

                        I know they suck but i don't think another huge company going out of business is good.

                          YEah BB's online service blows big time. I tried it for about 4 months, they raised prices twice in that short time. Netflix will bury them, can't believe it hasn't already happened.

                              Netflix rules! About 3 years ago I hooked up a refurbished (cheap) computer with a cable to translate the VGA signal to NTSC and I watch the Instant Watching movies on my TV. Now they have translator boxes to hook up to your TV for around $100. I also hooked up a second monitor to both my office and my home office computers so I can watch while I work. I'm never without a movie!
