Blockbuster Online

pjc

Anyone use Blockbuster online. How is their HD-DVD selection? Are the movies usually available. I am thinking of trying the service. I tried their service 2 years or so ago when it first came out, but the turn around time was slow compared to Netflix. I do seem to remember them having a feature that told you if your local warehouse had the movie or not. Is this true?

I just had a problem with Netflix where the movie at the top of my queue (Heart: Alive in Seattle HD-DVD) was not available at my local warehouse, so it has been over a week now without a DVD (I can only afford to do the 1 at a time unlimited rental plan). I figure at least with Blockbuster, I can return to the store and get a movie right away. Not to mention, 1 game rental/month.

Both services are the same price, so if you have Blockbuster currently, please let me know what you think shipping times, in-store drop off and most importantly, availablility of HD-DVD movies online (and even BD for that matter, I may wind up getting one of those players down the line). If it helps, I live in Central NJ.

thanks...didn't think to check that link for a BB experience. That 3rd post has me reconsidering. I still love Netflix, but I wish you could opt out of receiving a movie if it's not at your local warehouse or to show in your queue if it's not available at your local warehouse. This way you can decide if you want to wait up to a week or not and you can re-order your queue.
