I’m not sure if there is an alternative for both DVD rentals and streaming.

Blockbuster has a similar program for renting DVDs by mail, but it costs $11.99 a month. The good thing is they get a lot of the new releases almost a month earlier than Netflix, and if you live near a participating store, you can return your dvd to the store and select a new one up to 5 times a month.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if after all this Blockbuster came out ahead, seeing as Netflix knocked it into bankruptcy?

“... if you live near a participating store”

I will say that we have a problem now living near a participating store. Use to have one in our main town but that closed. I have noticed a lot of the stores closing and the nearest available one to us takes a good 20 minutes to drive to (one way and not in rush hour). However, you are right about living near one and getting five turn ins a month. (plus, you get to keep that movie as long as you wish)
