Hello, I am currently with NetFlix and only use their streaming plan.

I was wondering what business is the best to rent blu-rays from?

Thank you.

Redbox is usually the cheapest option, but you have to wait 30 to 60 days for movies from certain studios (Universal, Warner, etc.).

Netflix vs. Blockbuster: Pros and Cons

NETFLIX
Pros: Large selection
Cons: Long waits and must wait a month for a lot of new releases

BLOCKBUSTER
Pros: Large selection and usually gets most new releases right away
Cons: Takes longer to recieve movies and very long waits

I have accounts for both. I do like Netflix better because I get movies rather quickly, but I do tend to rent a lot of new releases and a lot of them have to come from Blockbuster because Netflix doesn't get a lot of them for at least a month.

As far as new releases are concerned, I'm all about Redbox. As long as you're okay with waiting on certain titles, it's absolutely worth it.

Older releases? I'd, personally, recommend Netflix's disc service over Blockbuster's, primarily because I never remember there being a time where Netflix did not get an older release out to me quickly.

Does anyone know if it is only Netflix that is using lower quality audio BD's or is it similar on BBuster and Redbox?
Has anyone used the CafeDVD site for renting discs?
Thanks.
