Apparently they are better than they used to be.
ive bounced between the two and loved that you had in store rentals with BB. course that all changed when the BB near me closed and Netflix FINALLY got a distro in my city.
the one positive i will say (at least they used to) about BB is that they usually have more than one version of a movie or at the very least the newest one (usually an SE or Directors cut which also usually means a better transfer). Netflix always has just one version.
I used Netflix for the first time back in 2002 and I wasn't happy with it at all. Turnaround was between 5-6 days, discs came scratched fairly frequently and the selection wasn't all that great.Quote:

I'll be switching to Netflix. I like that I can bring my DVDs to the local store, but I've done it twice in the past six months I've subscribed, which I could pay for with the savings I'll get from Netflix. But mostly, I'm just irritated that they've raised the price.
That's not that obscene, when I first get netflix I was on the 4 at once plan, and since I got off of work around 2:30pm everyday, I would usually have time to watch a dvd or 2 that my wife didn't want to watch before she got home, I was averaging about 20 a month from that alone. If I had the option to return to a local store I could have easily watched a lot more. I kind of miss that with my current job, I caught up on a ton of old samurai movies & tv shows that I never got around to watching.Quote:
