<p>Does anyone have any insights as to which one might be better than the other? I'm tired of driving out of my way to the video store and the home delivery concept appeals to me. They're priced about the same but does one offer more options than the other? Better movies? Anything?</p>

My bro did Netflix for awhile but switched over to Blockbuster after the service got slower.<br />
I've used both and I like Blockbuster because you get free rentals from
the store every month. I would get my movies online and get free Xbox
games every month.<br />

I prefer Netflix's website navigation.<br />

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe? My favorite character was Chevy Prefect.

<p>I have Netflix and I love it. I got it because the in store selection at Blockbuster sucked. My selections get here the next day. I've only had one bad disc in 3 years. I had a billing problem a couple of months ago, changing over of credit cards, but they were very helpful and if was cleared up quickly. I highly recommend choosing Netflix and saying "Fuck you" to Blockbuster.</p>
