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?

I did the same thing, the Blockbuster deal was just too hot to pass up. I'll probably regret it in a couple years when netflix is out of business and blockbuster starts charging $300 a month, but whatever. This is good now!

There is a month free trial by the way. "friends" in the coupon code at signup, it was good two weeks ago, hopefully still is.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Hopefully Netflix will think of something great to get people to switch back.

I feel better already.

Netflix should counter with more movies at home and have the new releases more widely avail. but until they do I have to take the best deal even if it means stepping in a Blockbuster.

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
