Movie Rental Comparison: Blockbuster vs. Netflix
Maybe it抯 just me, but I抦 more old school when it comes to renting DVDs. I decided to give Netflix a try not too long ago, but I was kind of hesitant at first. The reason being is because when I want to watch a movie, I want to watch it now. I don抰 want to have to wait a day or two twiddling my thumbs waiting for a movie to arrive in my mailbox that I抦 itching to see.
To me, when it抯 time for Blockbuster to take on Netflix in the Movie Rental ring, I think Blockbuster video delivers the knockout blow. The reason I favor Blockbuster so much more than Netflix is because when I see a commercial advertising the newest DVD release of a movie I just have to see, I got to run to Blockbuster video, grab me a copy, not worry about late fees and return it once I抦 done viewing it.
Now I抦 not dissing Netflix, because they do have a very cool premise to themselves. I like the fact that you get to keep the DVD for as long as you want, you just can抰 get another DVD until you return the one you already have. And I like the plans they have for certain amount of DVDs to rent at a given time. But I抦 just not too crazy about 憁ailing?back a DVD after watching it, then waiting for them to receive the DVD before I can get another one.
With Blockbuster it抯 so simple: You got a craving to watch a movie, you call up Blockbuster to see if it has a copy, and odds are it does as it has the largest selection of DVDs anywhere compared to other video store chains locally, you pick the movie up, you keep it for as long as you want without worrying about late fees. It抯 the golden answer to my DVD viewing as far as I抦 concerned.
So I give Blockbuster the nod when it compares to Netflix. Even though Netflix doesn抰 sound half bad, nothing beats the local selection at my local Blockbuster. Netflix, go towel off, because you抮e not bad at all, but when it comes to facing Blockbuster, to me, you don抰 have a fighting chance.
