Poll: Will Netflix's new Blu-ray rates cause a change in your subscription? {Engadget HD}

"That was pretty much the only thing Blockbuster had going for them."
You mean besides the lower prices, video game rentals, and the ability to go out and get the movie you want RIGHT NOW rather than waiting until the next business day? Regardless of whether it counts towards your number out or your monthly maximum, it's still an ounce of instant gratification that Netflix is unable to offer.
I'm no shill for Blockbuster either. I've used them before and they definitely have their faults. But you just can't make a blanket claim that one service is better than the other. It's a matter of opinion based on many factors, not a black and white issue.

Apr 1st 2009 3:01PM You're wrong in that you're totally disregarding the plans that have no monthly limit on rentals. If you have an unlimited plan, then you can exchange a disc in store for a free rental, AND they will send out another title on the next business day.

Apr 1st 2009 1:01PM Um, no. You claimed that BB "axed free instore movie rentals" which is NOT true.
You can still get free instore movie rentals, they will just count as part of "maximum out" limit according to your plan. Unlimited plans get five free in-store exchanges per month.

Apr 1st 2009 12:50PM Blockbuster has a plan comparible to my current Netflix account for $5/mo. less. I'm going to give them a second chance just to send a clear message to Netflix.

No, I don't work for BB. I'm actually a peeved Netflix customer, and want everybody to know about this cheaper alternative!
