Only talking about streaming here, which offers more?

I have Netflix and while they do have a lot many of the shows are for DVD only. Does Blockbuster offer more?

I noticed Robyn mention putting Breaking Bad in her insta que, was that for home delivery or streaming? Netflix only offers it for home delivery.
 
I have a problem with the home delivery thing. I signed up for that service once and after no issues the first month or so all of a sudden they are billing me for a movie that not only did I not have I never ordered. They took their money from my account because I set them up on automatic billing but I canceled immediately afterwards.

How do you prove you never received something when it comes straight to your post office box and there is nothing to sign for? At least with the streaming service you pay your fee, the watching is only limited by what they have in their library and you can't be charged for something you never got.

I do Netflix for 9.99 (unlimited streaming and 1 DVD out at a time). I understand your concern about the post office thing but surely it is nothing to worry about. Netflix is one of the best run companies.

I had netflix at one point last year. I could literally see the distribution plant from my apartment and it would take over 5 days for me to receive my dvds and/or they would never show up at all. I assume some mail guy and/or security guard was either taking them home and copying them before delivering them to my mailbox or just outright stealing but Netflix refused to accept this as a possibility. They basically said deal with it so I told them to fok off.

They also had fucking dog shit for streaming options.

It's easy you just report that you never received it and they send you a new one. I've actually stolen a couple movies that way because I misplaced the sleeve and was too lazy to find it.

Well Jaysus buddy wtf u want me to do beg them to send me an envelope? I"m the one who returns movies weeks after I watch them and hardly streams so they are getting their $ out of me. Big corporation coughs up a couple decent DVD's to consumer as a result of consumer's sheer laziness.

I'd say that's as American as apple pie.
