Blockbuster Online Renting!

Your mom hates our government 😐

On topic.

I felt like saying that but my line was funner to write.

Well, I've found that online DVD rentals are far superior to store-rented DVDs. Firstly because the DVDs themselves are much better looked after. About every second DVD I got from the video store was scratched to the bejeebus and wouldn't play all the way through which, needless to say, pissed me off.

Also, it's just so much easier to line up a whole bunch of DVDs on your queue and just let 'em come as they do... rather than going into the store every week and searching through the shelves.

And it works out much cheaper online as well. I only used to watch 2 or 3 DVDs a week, now I get through 5 to 8.

I think im gonna try netflix if this one doesnt work out.Netflix looks like it has a better selection and I think your able to pre-order movies.

I dont really care about new releases, most mainstream ones are crap anyway, and you can get the more obscure new releases as not many people rent them, basically its all about the variety of films that online services offer. And it can work out at less than 50p per rental.

I have seen the future and its name is Garlic Bread.

ALSO im getting it half price at the moment £7.50

Whats wrong with wanting to watch new releases again?I watch alot of old movies but I like watching the new stuff because most of its stuff I havent seen and want to see.

I would prefer the video store experience, but incredibly, do not have one within a 2 mile radius of my house and I don't have a car, so the Blockbuster thing works out pretty well. I always have movies showing up and have never had a problem. I find it pretty cool...

i like going to the video store over chosing from the net, but the video store i go to dosn't have much money, so the updates are few and far between...

Well I've been using it for a few weeks now and so far it's been ok.I dont like having to wait like four days for a movie though.

How long does "LONG WAIT" usually mean?This is whats listed under "Stewie Griffin:The Untold Story"

It takes four days for a film to reach you?

Three or four 😬

yeah, my roomate gets blockbuster now and it's sort of weak in terms of delivery time.

Four days? I get my DVDs the day after I check the 'returned' box... And if I check the returned box a day before I actually return them, I can have up to six DVDs at a time (on a three DVD plan).

I still have tot figure out all the kinks 😄

My turnaround on dvd's is about 2 or 3 days, depending on when I post them.
