I actually have both. Blockbuster now has an In-Store Total Pass. One fee per month, unlimited movies. The Blockbuster I subscribed is 2 per time, unlimited per day. I can go home, watch the movies, then return them for two more the same day…and so on. I love this, since there is a time period (especially on weekends) that I don’t have Netflix. I tried the 8 per month, but it seems to rack up on the weekend, when Netflix does not mail. HOWEVER, I like Netflix’s independent/privacy. If you are renting a hard to find or risque movie, Netflix is for you. I am getting about 32 movies a month from Netflix and I already have 4 movies rented from Blockbuster. The average price is less than renting 8 at Netflix. I am a Netflix fan, but I have also become a Blockbuster fan. Why not have both!

well because i work for blockbuster i will go ahead and have to say blockbuster is much better..Yea at first may be some problems..all new stuff may have tweaks that needs to be worked out. It reading a comment above where guy says you need at least 30 movies in your list. we say a high amount because lets say you get three movies out at a time. As soon as you return your three movies in store for free rentals it triggers your list and lets it know to release the next three movies. yea it may not ship until the next morning ..depends on the time of day..if you return your movies at 10 at night mail has already stopped.. so if you return them 11am then they will release them.. as well..just like netflix blockbuster may have movies that are a short wait..another comment guy says he only got three movies for two week trial.. where the other movies on your list available? did you have enough movies? Blockbuster is better..i have the service as well..i get three movies by mail..i watch them in about two days..i return all three movies in store for any 3 free rentals..as im watching those free rentals next movies on its way.. i watch one movie per day so on the third day when im done with the third movie..the next three movies from my list are at my house..as well 90% of time movies are then on the 2nd day..

Blockbuster does BLOW! Too many times to ignore, the movies at the top of my queue listed as available were not the ones shipped.

WARNING: If you cancel your membership, wait until a few days before your next billing date. My account was paid until July 14th. I cancelled mid-cycle on June 26th. Even though my accound was paid, I received NO movies for the remaining 3 weeks, and Blockbuster refused to refund the 3 weeks I was without service.

I will NEVER return to Blockbuster. Go with Netflixs.

Questiion, say I received a movie from BB Total Access and I returned it to a store. Does the store rental need to be turned in in the prescribed time limit in order to not get a late fee? Also, upon returning to the store, can I further rent another from the store or do I need to wait for one to be mailed to me? And when the store rental is turned in, will Total Access automatically send another from my list? Hopes this makes sense.

I have a lot of money on this; I have a friend who thinks that the voice-over on the Total Access commercials was not Baldwin. Do you have proof that it IS Baldwin?

i have tried both and right now i have blockbuster total access and it is treating me well. i get from 6 – 9 movies a week and with the free coupon i get one video game rental a month (which is worth $8). i feel that it is worth my money because i’m near a store and can exchange the movies more often than i could with netflix. i can understand if people don’t like going to the store and returning movies, that is certainly alright and probably the reason netflix was founded. and to say something about joost, which was mentioned above, i’ve had a lot of fun with it and its very promising!

I tried blobkbuster total access. It totally blew, i ordered the first 3 movies and got 2 weeks free trail. i traded the 3 movies in store and supposedly when you turn your movie in they start shipping you your next movie(lies). They don’t ship your movie until “the next business day” but in my 2 week free trial i only received the first 3 movies by mail and the 3 i got in store, i was never shipped any other movies that were in my queue, blockbuster customer service told me you had to have 30 movies in your queue, i had 29, could they not ship because all 29 of the dvd’s in my que were nto availible? well netflix did me good if a movie was not available then they shipped it from another center that had the movie, my choice netflix. and if you do sign up for blockbuster online the only benefit i see is telling them you never received the movie in the mail and keeping the movie forever and canceling the subscription and get some free movies. lol
