Netflix, my boyfriend just got a subscription and am loving it.  I wish they had more options for the Watch Instantly (especially when I'm back at school).

Neither one, because i usually buy DVDS pretty cheap at Amazon.com and prefer not to rent and go through the Hassle of returning moves!

I once signed up for blockbuster, but I remember back years ago when they started renting movies. They had a store near me and the rumor was that they cut the movies. They are supposed to be based in Utah and that the company was run by mormons. So, the rumor of them cutting out certain scenes, seemed real. Now I have rented movies from BlockBuster, NetFlix and my local video club. I knew for a fact that BlockBuster cuts the movies. It was a different version then the other 2 rentals I had. So, saying that, I will stay away from BlockBuster and I will stick with Netflix. I love the streaming aspect and it is also part of Apple TV. So, I hardly ever get disks in the mail anymore. I rather watch them right on my TV.

I like Netflix better.  Not happy about the price increase but still cheaper than cable or dish.  But your leaving out one that is also just as good.  Hulu does what netflix does but you have commercials to were netflix doesn't.  Hulu is 7.99 a month for streaming tv of current season.  Lots to choose from for free and some for just a little money.   :thumbsup:

I prefer Netflix over Blockbuster, but I'm also not happy with the recent price hike either and thinking of dropping them. I might eventually to stick with the library and kiosk as I'm not watching movies as frequently.

I've been with Netflix for about 4 years. I have never really had a problem with them, but I find that their streaming is really not that good. A 20 minute long show will take us an hour to watch because it freezes and re-buffers. Totally annoying.

I would drop netflix in a heartbeat if Blockbuster would start streaming movies through the wii .... maybe one day they will realize how much more business they would have if they would offer that service!

I feel the same way. I had Blockbuster at first, but then I changed to Netflix. I loved that I could take my movies from the mail and trade them in inside the Blockbuster store. The only reason I really changed is because Netflix streams through my Wii and most of the Blockbuster stores are closing.
