I know, I am thinking of switching from Netflix, just because now you can get them in the stores. But it seems the stores don't have as many as online. And everything online is very long wait. At least with Netflix, usually there isn't that long of a wait.

The manager said they would be getting more every week for the next few.
He also said that although he had no exact date for when, that fairly soon there would be day and date releases.

I don't have a BB online account , but may get one because you can actually take back BD's and replace them in store...which is something I wasn't aware of.

that is why i am thinking of switching from netflix. Especially since every bd that they had was available. The only problem was the selection. And I am sure that over time people will rent them. Although you can pretty much rent any PS3 game they have.

What i have been doing for the last few months with the 3 at a time plan. When i enrolled the 3 at a time was 17 or 17.99 month. For 17 dollars a month i am getting 6 movies a week. I rent 3 BD's online. bring those back to the store and exchange for 3 regular dvds. My BD's are now marked as returned in the system and my next three BD's are mailed out. Then you get a coupon online that you can print andf bring in the store for another movie. Plus you can also get games in place of dvd.
Thats 24 movies and games a month. Of course if you have LOTS of time or a few kids you can do more than that.
At this point in time i don't see how you can not like the Blockbuster deal.

My local BB does not have BD's in store yet but i have been asking when they will show up every other week i go in. Of course they say they will be coming but they don't know an exact date.

I forgot to mention that BB gave me a number for a free trial of the 3 out at a time plan.
I have read its good for 30 days of free service but the manager said 14 days.

I'm going to stop by my closest store which already had some BD and HD-DVD to return some online movies and see if they got anymore in.

Or better yet assuming a close BB location....rent the easy to get titles and bring them into the store and replace them with the ones you really want.

disbthai · 07-12-2007, 04:36 PM

Just rented my first BluRay movie from Blockbuster as well "Pirates of the Caribbean "Dead Man's Chest". good movie with great PQ.

I'm pissed only one blockbuster store in San Diego got Blu-rays from the recent launch.... and it's pretty far from me...
grrr

to wait for online blockbuster i guess... 'very long wait'

Has anyone found The Patriot at their Blockbuster? I just went to mine for the first time in like 2 years to check out their BR selection (I got a PS3 2 days ago) and they only had about 20 movies.
