So, when I had the chance to switch from Netflix to Blockbuster Online I didn’t do it, I thought “why bother?”, it seemed like the exact same service and just an overall hassle to go through the process again. Then I saw an ad that seemed to good to be true, it stated that I could use the movies I was going to send in through the mail, take them to the store instead, and exchange them for free in store rentals….ok, that is hard to believe. The ad also mentioned a free 2 week trial, so….What the hell, I gave it a try.

I got my first 3 movies, watched them that night, sealed up the envelopes and took them down to the Blockbuster. I get to the counter with my 3 envelopes and 3 new releases from the store, hand him my card and I was out the door in less than 1 minute with new movies from the store……But wait, It doesn’t end there!

By the time I get home and check my email, I had already received 3 notices in my inbox that says “Blockbuster has recieved *INSERTMOVIENAMEHERE*, your new movies are on the way”!!!!

So, let’s break everything down. With Netflix I was lucky to get 3-5 movies a week, not to mention they have their infamous “throttling” system (which I have only heard about, but pretty sure I have experienced). With Blockbuster I am NOW getting at least 9 movies a week to watch, and for any avid movie watcher this is KICKASS!

So, yes, this is why I love Blockbuster Online, because they KICK ASS!
