just wondering if i am the only one getting ticked off at netflix? my wife added You Don't Mess with the Zohan when it came out like 4 months ago and it is still a long waite. i relize that some movies are in demand but come on 4 months. wife loved netflix for awhile now she has made a couple comments about getting rid of it because of the length waite on several movies.

Is this a blu-ray? because that may be the reason,there have been discussions on this about the long wait.

Depends heavily on your area. It is on my list with no wait.

I was with Netflix since 2003 and am now in my second month with Blockbuster. I'm finding Blockbuster has more titles available than Netflix did, and the store near me usually has new releases in stock if there's a wait through the mail. I'm really loving the in store exchanges.

I LOVE BLOCKBUSTER, THEY JUST NEED PORN!!!

Zohan must be staying with the stupid Netflix subs...same for me...always a wait when I look at my queue

Hancock too...but I am watching the Wire on DVD right now so I don't mind that it isn't completely available.

I'm hoping I get either Caligula or Pineapple Express (both release tomorrow) in my next batch going out today...I timed the mailing to coincide with the release date. I find the odds of getting a desire new movie on Blu is better when the anticiapted receive date is the release date of the movie.

phlydude · 01-05-2009, 08:09 PM

Just checked - Caligula is out in the mail now...Pineapple ships tonight.

Hasn't failed me yet!

I tried that with hancock then proceeded to wait 3 weeks for it as the only item in my queue.

I got hancock instantly after I sent back my other movies

Psychonaut · 01-05-2009, 11:34 PM

Yeah they've been better lately. They're punching through my Blu's pretty fast right now. It was getting pretty bad a month or so back.

PoLskA · 01-06-2009, 02:28 AM

That sucks for me! I cleared my queue and put hancock in it on the weekend before it came out. I then sent my movies back to where it would be shipped on Monday or Tuesday. It was showing available now all day monday and tuesday then went to long wait for at least 3 weeks.

Why did you clear the rest of your list? As long as you kept Hancock at the top it would have shipped as soon as it was available.

If it wasn't available they would keep sending available items below it. I don't get to watch the movies very often so I wanted it to ship as soon as it was available.
