I hope so Tashakinz. Before the improvement there was one week where nothing happened (they didn't even acknowledge receipt of the returned dvds) for four days. I think they must have purposely put some things on hold so they could catch up. It seems to have worked. Hopefully that'll happen at your site too.

the blockbuster is quicker, and now with their two free rentals a month, i have a blockbuster around the corner from where i live, and sometimes we've watched all of our movies, and this way i don't have to worry about wanting another and paying for it.

For me Blockbuster is not an option as a matter of principle. They attempted to collect errant late charges on more than one occassion. They did it to me in two different cities, which to me lends great credence to the multitudes of complaints others have made against them.

Now maybe it was just random bad luck, maybe I was a mutiple victim of honest mistakes on their part. But to me it looks like a duck, smells like a duck.

I like Google's corporate mantra "Don't be evil."

Woo hoo! Netflix just opened a new distribution center in my city. I read a blip on it in the paper last week and it said they would not confirm when it would be up and running. Then the next day I saw a local return address on my new movies, and I am already seeing a quicker turnaround on my last few movies, yay! I received The Notebook yesterday, from a movie I returned Saturday, and I was not expecting to receive it so soon at all since it had been marked as a wait.

Its seems as if the mail order movie choices are split like this:

Blockbuster-ites like it mostly for the free rental coupons as a back up when you've viewed all your movies and a store is handy in your area

Netflix-ers like not having to go to the store and the larger selection of movies.

The turn around on both via mail seems to be the same.

Another plus for me is that since I don't have cable I can just wait and get the good shows on DVD. Which is why I bumped my subscription up to 8-at a time. Woohoo that's a lot of movies! But for box sets its just the right amount I can get all the discs at one time. This is great for me since I need my "The Wire" fix or my "OZ" or even "Carnivale"

I never saw Aviator and it comes out tomorrow on DVD, timed my Netflix return just right, I should get it by Thursday, just in time for the weekend. Timing my rentals to new releases is an art. lol.

lol Maris - I totally know what you mean. If you don't get them the first week (the really popular ones) then it'll be 2 months.
