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?
Blockbuster went out of business here just about at the same time that Netflix came on the scene.
I don’t sit at my computer to watch a movie, ever!
We have Netfix on our big flat screen tv, and we usually pick a movie to watch every night if we don’t have anything better to do.
I don’t mind the increase in price—it’s still cheap entertainment the way I see it. We couldn’t go to one movie for the price of Netflix, plus you have to get in your car and drive to a theater.
I still think Netflix is one of the best bargains around, even with the increase in price. I will continue to have it on my tv.
We also like the older movies. There are very few new movies that we are interested in seeing. We have our choice of about 100 movies, including all the different categories.

Netflix didn’t knock it into BK, an outdated business model with an under-performing value proposition did...and arrogance did. lol
