Technology and market conditions have changed both of these models and the two services became very similar to each other, with both offering a mail service and and online streaming service.
Blockbuster still maintains some store front buildings, but the focus of their business now BlockBuster Total Access , which is the direct business model with DVDs and BluRays by mail and a pay as you go streaming option. Netflix has had their own issues with the changes in technology, branding and pricing and recently split their DVD by mail and online streaming services into two different companies, each focusing on one business model.
Amid strong customer backlash, Netflix quickly changed their business model back to the Netflix rand — though they continued to split the pricing model between the online streaming and DVD by mail. The question now is: This is a great deal if you have a fast internet connection and a system capable of displaying high definition graphics. There are currently over 20, movie titles and tens of thousands of TV shows to choose from for online viewing. The most similar service to the Netflix streaming program is Hulu Plus, which is comparably priced. You can get free movies through a trial service, or when you activate certain media players, but after that, you must pay for each title.
Similar pay as you go movie rentals include Vudu and Amazon on Demand. These two services are very similar — members select the movies they wish to rent and place them in a queue, then the company mails the movies to the member when they become available.

Movies are mailed in a postage paid envelope and come with a postage paid return envelope for your convenience. All you need to do is watch the movie, put it in the postage paid envelope and drop it in the mail, and wait for your next movie to come. The standard features between Netflix and Blockbuster include:.
Differences between Netflix and Blockbuster: There are some key differences:. All three of these services offer customers good value for their money, depending on their needs. A lot of people are upset at the recent changes with Netflix, but even the combined price of the DVD by mail and online service can be cheaper than the Blockbuster by mail plus two or three movies on demand. It can also be cheaper than premium cable channels. The key here is to decide which plan works the nest for you and how you watch movies and other video content.
UPDATE- Gamefly has gotten into the movie by mail business and is including movies with their already popular video game rentals by mail service. Check out all the details in my review of the Gamefly free trial offer. Before Netflix split into two companies, they were the clear winner. Regardless of which one you choose, I believe all three options offer solid value, and a cheaper alternative to paying for cable or premium movie channels. Both Blockbuster and Netflix offer free or reduced cost trials, so you can always try it free to determine which company and plan best meets your needs.

With so many t. Have used Netflix for years now and would never trade it in. They are a great service and have never had problems with them. I tried Blockbuster in the past and am currently a Netflix subscriber. They would constantly send me shows out of order. I canceled when I got disc 2, 3, 4 and sent back 4 and put it back into my queue which was another hassle hoping to get disc 1 which was supposedly available, only to get 5.
Great marketing angle though!
Blockbuster vs. Netflix – Best Service for Movies
I think Netflix has more esoteric movies I like foreign documentaries. Netflix also lets you put the account on hold for 90 days, which was great while I was busy with school. I assume BB lets you also? Anything that had the slightest hint of well, anything, it seemed. I went back and for , , i added up my monthly rates and divided it by the number of movies i had rented in those years. Not a bad deal at all. This reminds me of a really funny video I saw recently about the way people used to rent videos.
My husband has a hard time finding these and we end up buying them. This is great for customers such as yourself. And based on the cost of your average rental, you are getting a great deal! You can try their service for free with the Netflix Free Trial Coupon Code , or you can try blockbuster free as well — Blockbuster Total Access free trial. Just be sure to read the fine print, because these deals are constantly changing! I was the most loyal Netflix customer ever. I started in Aug. The movies always shipped so quickly! I would get it the very next day and when I would send them back, sure enough-the next day they arrived at their processing center.
I decided to play around with the other plans to save some money, tried the 1-at-a-time and it proved to be so not worth the savings. The 2-at-a-time is really the best for my personal needs and the money. I can only speculate this but it really seems like I am being treated like a second-class customer since I bumped my plan down. The movies now take 3 days both ways. I suspect it is NOT my post office as I am in the same address and all my other mail is fine. I am going to give Blockbuster a try as their plans are so close in price. It is a shame that they would do this do their loyal customers.
I too downgraded from Blockbuster 3 movie rentals unlimited to 1 movie rental unlimited what a joke my last rental was almost 27 days ago even though i have plenty in my queue ,I have been with Blockbuster for over 20 years and this is it for me. So they would limit the number of new releases they could get per month, or otherwise limit certain orders.
You forgot one Netflix benifit they almost took this away a few months ago but got a lot of complaints. Netflix allows you to create different profiles or queues for each person. My husband and I have our our lists and I get 1 DVD from the top of mine, he gets 1 from the top of his. Mindful for anyone on Netflix who wants to put their account on hold up to 90 days or downgrade your account it does not pro-rate to take place immediately. It will take place at the next billing cycle.
I missed the end of the billing cycle by 1 DAY and ended up canceling the hold becauase it would not have taken effect till the end of the next month. Of course if you want to upgrade, it takes place immediately, you are charged a pro-rated amount for the rest of that billing cycle and they ship you 1 more DVD right away.
It is almost always 1 business day in between from when I ship it to when I get the next one. Maybe that was just a coincidence and something else has affected the rate of delivery at the same time you downgraded? I discovered that if I make sure the bar codes on the DVD sleeve show through the little window on the back of the return envelope, I get my new shipments sooner.
NF must scan the codes directly into their computers before someone has to open them. I started out with in-store exchanges as a free bonus, so I was ticked when I suddenly had to pay extra for it, even though I rarely used it. I did discover that sometimes I have to search the name of a new release I want from NF. Although I do get other letters from Sacto in a day.
While my brother would have to wait a couple of days to mail his movie back and hopefully get another movie by the weekend. My vote is for BB. Besides, supporting BB is good for your local economy. How many employees of NF are working in your neighborhood? They have been very good until lately when my queue has only new releases in it. Then instead of getting a movie, I get an email asking if I want to give a Netflix gift certificate to someone. As mention in an earlier comment, If your plan is not the more expensive one you may not get the new release movie. Blockbuster may have fallen on hard time but their new business plan and implementation of digital services has them prime to strike.
My subscription has outperformed my Netflix account as blue rays and games are both included. The delivery 28 days faster is a nice feature as well. My vizio tv just got blockbuster added as well. Both are good options, but I like option 3 — Redbox. They also have an online rental option where you can locate new releases and then drive to that particular place to pick them up.
Paul, RedBox is a great option too. Netflix is better if you frequently watch movies or if you want to add TV shows to your list. But if you only watch a couple movies a month, then RedBox is cheaper.

It all comes down to your viewing habits. I just signed up for blockbuster online about a week ago. My parents have Netflix so I have experience with their service as well. For me blockbuster was actually cheaper and movies arrive in around the same amount of time as Netflix. Around 1 day there and 1 day back. I rent only blu-rays for my 55in so this is how the price breaks down for me. You have to call them to get these plans. They do still offer them as of March when I signed up. Blockbuster includes blu-rays in their normal plan whereas Netflix charges extra.
This is how the pricing breaks down:. As an added bonus I also get console games for my ps3 and xbox with the blockbuster service. So far I like what I see. Thanks for the feedback, Joe. How you use the service depends on which deal is better. The Blu-Rays and Games make a big difference for a lot of people. I have used both services and have had a problems with neither they are both great services.
As it stands right now i am a member of both i have been a netflix member for about a year now and a blockbuster memeber for about three months now i am going to cancel the netflix service this month not because i dont like it but because blockbuster works better for me with the 2 at a time price of The only thing wierd that i have encountered from BB is that just recently they sent me 2 movies and 2 games so i have 4 discs out right now im just guessing glitch but hey im not complaining.
SO my vote is for BB! Maybe I am missing something whenever I read about the comparison between Blockbuster and Netflix, but I keep seeing Netflix being listed as having a better selection. That may be true if you are only discussing the DVD selection, but what about streaming and downloading? Maybe I am the only impatient person on earth, though I doubt it based on watching other drivers on the road.
I want my movies now… when I am in the mood to watch them. Not tomorrow or the next day. Besides, I have a three year old… how do you tell them that they can watch Dora two days from now? The new release selection seems awfully pathetic at best. I think both companies are in need of serious makeovers when it comes to the instant streaming options. I have been both a Netflix and Blockbuster subscriber. In fact, my better half and I both had a compitition over this.

I wanted Netflix, she wanted Blockbuster. So for a year, we paid for both. For one thing, we, like most people, have switched to a Blueray player. Blockbuster let us switch our format for free. We get all the blueray titles we want for free. Netflix wanted to charge us. Also, when streaming online, Blockbuster has far more titles available. And they have all the new movies available for streaming. Netflix has a bunch of old movies we have already seen before. First, I used to own two homes, still do, except that my upstate New York home is currently occupied by a renter due to my recent unemployment.
Also, DirecTV has more seasonal freebies such as premium movie channels for four months as compared to Verizon FIOS which only seemed to want to keep me in a triple play plan when I told them that I could get free phone service from google voice chat and could get a lower internet cost from Time Warner in my upstate home. Now with that said, I have to say this: Ok — I love great martial arts movies.
I failed to say that I purchased a DVD recorder in I have amassed my own personal library of documentaries, movies and music videos which now amounts to over 3 years of non-stop movie and documentary watching. It may take me literally years to watch something that I burned on my DVD recorder sometimes. I will read the reviews first before I record a movie. Then I will watch it if it is good before I burn it. I am quite used to waiting for a Donnie Yen or Jet Li movie, sometimes for years, because they are released in Asia first and take time to re-market and re-package for the Western market.
Therefore, I never wait for new releases. I never join that bandwagon because there is nothing that would make me want to run out and see it right now. Except the 2nd Yip Man movie with Donnie Yen. I am not psychologically manipulated to see a movie when it comes to cinema or DVD because I have a deep list of movies to see, do not believe in blockbusters, never watch horror or science fiction, even though I was a Trekkie as a child and hate gun oriented action movies. And BB does censor movies and has a poor movie selection list to choose from with little foreign movie titles.
Did we also forget the public library? Then it came on my free premium channel for three months offer.
I could take me the rest of the year to watch it because my first order of movie watching is for documentaries first, movies second and now with the Documentary channel, the Vanguard series on CurrenTV and Free Speech TV showing documentaries, I am in documentary heaven recording at least documentaries every one to two days. I have a taste for foreign films, documentaries and independent films and do not go for Blockbusters nor can I see the point of waiting for DVDS in the mail when I have access to video on demand with free movie selections.
Now, I have three DVRs and hundreds of movies recorded waiting for my viewing. Why would I have to use Netflix or Blockbuster for movies? Did I mention that you can see documentaries online for free? Why would I want to pay NF to watch videos over the net when I can usually find them for free over the web? Blood and Bone was not released in theaters and took 8 months before the official DVD was released after I already purchased the bootleg.
Yes, I hate how their prices go up after one year, but they do take care of you with freebies. I am not into disposable time or movie watching and would rather create my OWN video library. The future is intelligent media control and I have it. I even have more documentaries on my laptop which I easily connect to my 52 inch flat panel TV and surround sound system.
So I am way ahead of this game. Let the new media revolution begin with control. How about the NBA Finals without the commercials?
