NetFlix is about that much per disc when you get down to it if you use it right. I also love how I can find really old stuff thanks to them

I truly like Blockbuster more. Heres why:

I go to blockbuster.com and select the movies I want. Lets make up a scenario:

I select Batman (w/Michael Keeton) on DVD, The Dark Knight Blu-Ray, and that Abba movie (I am married) on DVD.

I watch the two Batmans on Sunday, but I find out that two movies that I want to see come out on Blu-Ray on Tues.

With the blockbuster, I can take any movie, DVD or Blu-Ray, and trade it in the store for ANY movie, just released or old. They will also deal with the shipping, and as soon as I return them, they scan them and they are instantly marked "returned" on my online account. 

Also, say that I have to leave on emergency and forget to return the mailed in movies. No problem, since there is virtually no late fee at all. I could keep it a year w/no payment. Actually I don't know if it can be a year, but you get my drift.

All of this for around the same price.

In my opinion, its like Netflix 1.5. Its just better. 

BUT, its only better IF you have a Blockbuster nearby, if not, then its all based on personal opinion.

I've got a Blockbuster rental thing where they deliver it to your house like Netflix, but either one is good.

I enjoy the experience of watching it at the cinema. It's the same thing at home. Plus, we aren't being cheap in this department.
