Blockbuster Online Users

According to this dude, some Blockbuster Online users rates are going up...by 40%.

Anyone on my friends list experiencing this?

I sure do enjoy my Netflix membership.

I like that NetFlix has lowered my plan price, but they have correspondingly started to throttle me more. I find it hard to believe that the closest copy of Rome Season 2: Disc 2 is in MA (I'm in Silicon Valley). You're telling me that every disc west of the Mississippi is in use? Crazy.

NetFlix could throttle me down to 2 discs per year and $400/month and I would still not choose Blockbuster. Those guys are certified ass-clowns.

I forgot to mention that Blockbuster is/was run by fundamentalist Christians who rent out edited versions of some films. I remember renting one movie (don't remember which), but I had seen it in the theater. I was very confused with the ending until I realized what they had done.

Yup, that's the big deal-breaker for me. Costs change - it happens. But that kind of deceit is unacceptable.

I do dislike Blockbuster, too. I haven't had too many problems with them lately. Every once in a while, something will take too long to ship. I think the Season 2 disc 1 copy of Weeds must have come from Poughkeepsie's distribution center.
(though, I have no idea if they have a distribution center there. it's just fun to type "poughkeepsie".)

My Weeds Season 2 Disc 1 came from Santa Ana so maybe that one was legit.
