Using Netflix for BDs - your thoughts? - Blu-ray Forum

Kaiju · 10-21-2008, 02:17 AM

Signed up for Netflix and should be getting my rentals soon. Does anyone else use Netflix for Blu-ray movies? How fast is the shipping, etc

Lsalas76 · 10-21-2008, 02:52 AM

I used to have netflix but had to cut down on some monthly expenses. I used to get blu-rays within the next day or two.

Kaiju · 10-21-2008, 02:53 AM

Sweet, I'll probably be getting a couple tomorrow then.

They come quick. Within a day or two. They just started charging a dollar more a month for Blu Rays but still worth it IMO. Generally, good availability but sometimes on new, popular releases theres a short wait.

Yeah, that sounds good. I'm not even sure which ones will be coming, added a bit to the queue.

I love using Netflix for BD rentals (for all rentals really). Last week I got Indy on release day (Wed. due to holiday Mon.) and Incredible Hulk will be waiting for me tomorrow when I come home. Just make sure to send your movies in on Sat. if you want to get a new release on Tuesday. Also, I still use BB for the BD's that I have long waits for in my que so I'm pretty much covered...although I seldom go now to BB but it's a good backup to Netflix.

It all depends on your proximity to a Netflix shipping center. I have one about 9 miles away so I get mine fairly quickly.

Also,
To me, BB=Best Buy and BBV=Blockbuster Video

Well since they increased it by $1 I've noticed that my movies have been coming more frequently. So Netflix is currently back in good graces in my household.

Barbie-Shrimp · 10-21-2008, 01:26 PM

I have had about 5 movies at the top for about 4 months now that are still "very long wait". But, other than that, it's been pretty good.

Grant Matrix · 10-21-2008, 01:37 PM

If you can get your movies, they are good, but if you can't get new releases and catalog titles right away, you can expect to be waiting a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooong time!

Teabaggins · 10-21-2008, 02:26 PM

I've had a great experience with using Netflix for BDs, some others might not have. I can only speak for myself and say they are prompt in mailing the discs out

S2K1 · 10-21-2008, 04:16 PM

They have been very prompt with BD's for me. I'll pay the extra $1 as long as they keep it up.

Ferris · 10-21-2008, 05:52 PM

It's rare (though it's happened one or two times in the last 16 months) that I've had to wait for a blu-ray. I got Iron Man right away.

Red Hood · 10-21-2008, 06:05 PM

I got two blus sent out yesterday and arrived today.

QwikSand · 10-21-2008, 06:57 PM

Been with them for 5 years, never an issue. Movies arrive in a day and have never had any have any wait of any kind, even brand new releases.

SillyMammo · 10-21-2008, 10:00 PM

I don't have any problem with get BD from Netflix. The only real problem is you have to time it right or you'll be waiting a long time to get BD new releases. Netflix doesn't seem to have enough copies of the new releases.
