Blockbuster. I get to rent about 20+ movies a month. With Netflix it was around 9-11 (and that's watching and mailing it back the same day). Turning the movie back into the store has been a blessing. You don't have to wait for any movies anymore! If the movie has a wait online then go to the store and get it. Plus, you get a free rental every month.
Netflix is too slow now.

Pros- With Blockbuster's Total Access, you have the option of swapping your dvd's out for in-store rentals, while your movies in your que are being sent to you. Blockbuster also gives you monthly coupons for an in-store game or movie rental. Netflix has a wonderful selection to choose from and you can usually get ANYTHING you want. Netflix also has a great customer friendly website that allows users to collaborate and find the movies they really want to see.
Cons- Blockbuster does not have as much to choose from as Netflix does, and sometimes movies are back-rented which means it may be awhile before you get those "in-demand" dvd's. With Netflix, the whole process take too long. After you send the movie off, you get the movie like three days after that.
So all-in-all, it depends on the customer. If you are the type of person who will only watch three movies a week, I would highly recommend Netflix. If you are a movie fanatic and will likely watch more than three movies a week, go for Blockbuster's Total Access.

If you have a blockbuster near by, go with the Blockbuster Total Access. Even though it maybe a little more expensive, i have heard that Netflix ships movies out slow to those who watch tons of movies. And if your a movie nut, the blockbuster one can't do anything really to stop you from watching movies. and you can get what you want, when you want...if you think about it. and not wait for the new release to come to you, you can watch it the day it came out.

we have Netflix and we love it....
we have experienced a quick turn around with movies... on occasion a movie might take longer then usually but I think that has more to do with the postal service then Netflix....
We rent about 4 or so movies a week... but if I plan it right I can get about 8 movies a week.... We have the 4 at a time plan...
If I send out a movie early on Monday, Netflix gets it Tuesday and I get a new movie on Wednesday....
