New Update to Blockbuster's Website - Blu-ray Forum

GooMan · 04-08-2008, 04:18 PM

Sorry if this has already been posted, I did a search of thread titles and nothing looked like it . . .

I went to add a blu-ray to my queue and a pop-up windows asked me if I wanted to set my prefered format to blu-ray. I said yes, then after a couple of questions it asked if I wanted to change teh format to blu-ray of all movies in the queue, so I said yes. Now when ever I added a movie it automatically puts the Blu-ray version in the queue and you can change the format from the queue with little drop-down menues.

I was pretty excited because this is how Netflix hanlded Bluray and I really missed it when I switched to BB.

I noticed that too, it is much easier than the way it was before.

Actually -- it's really really cool.

I logged into "My Account" page and as able to set up

Blu Ray as the primary
HD DVD as my secondary
DVD as tertiary

So now it automatically adds discs in hi-def format if they are available in said format (and it automatically updated my que). Neat!

Very nice.

Blockbusters site is much better than Netflix (at least for browsing for movies)

Wow, something that Netflix has been doing for a year!

wow - hard to believe that BB didn't already have this feature.

It's been part of rogersvideodirect for a while now (although it may be partially broken right now since they switched the way they catalog Blus from what I can tell)

Cool to see all you guys get it though - it's very handy.

Okay, I just logged on and changed my preferences.
