Default Netflix and I broke up.

I feel dirty and ashamed. I left Netflix for the Evil Empire. But how can I deny the same price and get to return the mailers to the store for free in store rentals? I want to stand by Netflix since they were the trailblazers but how can I deny the free? Is it OK that I am giving in to Blockbuster or am I unloyal dickface?

Dude. That's capitalism. Why would you have loyalty to an inferior product?

Because there is value in the essence of an entity that created a new medium of distributing videos right to our front door that makes us feel that the entity deserves loyalty.

Does Blockbuster's selection come close to Netflix's?

I didn't do a thorough search dids but I checked some indies in my Q and also a few live music things I thought they may not have, and they had all I was looking for, so far they have passed MY test.

Blockbuster claims 65,000 titles
Netflix claims over 70,000 titles

I went from Netflix to Blockbuster but left to go back to Netflix. I found the selection to be much worse personally, but I watch a lot of foreign movies.

Also, Blockbuster's recommendations were just terrible.

Better selection and a much better website- I'm not giving that up just to return movies at the store.

Eff that and all that other No Logo crap. I'm PRO LOGO all the way. It's all about who can offer me the same (or better) product at a cheaper price. Naomi Klein can kiss my ass.
