netflix may have no delays on new releases, but good luck getting something like, say, Iron Man 2 in a timely fashion. I've had it on my netflix queue since it came out and STILL haven't gotten it. this blockbuster deal sounds good for two reasons: 1) um, it's free? 2) it's got games.
Netflix will throttle the amount of DVD's you receive if you send them back too quickly. I have had 2 accounts with them and it happened both times. Blockbuster does not and I get 5 free in-store exchanges each month. (=more movies)
Blockbuster = Chapter 11 bankrupcy. Wouldn't be surprised to see them start to liquidate most of their stores in 2011. But, hey, 4 weeks of free video rentals - it is worth a shot. Might be fun while it lasts.
No streaming = FAIL
Netflix FTW
netflix doesn't have games = FAIL
YOU BOTH = FAIL!
blockbuster has new releases delayed by several months...

lol blockbuster and games....
It's worth it for the movies, forget the games. They still show Halo Reach not shipping until Jan 2011....lol.
BTW, gamefly rents games and probably does a better job than BB.
#10 & #11 is correct. i am clearly stupid because my browser timed out and double-posted.
too bad really, because i was offering a non-partial opinion having had BOTH services over the years.
