Netflix vs. Blockbuster

AlohaStyle · 06-25-2010, 01:56 AM

I've been debating the switch from Blockbuster to Netflix for some time now but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I have a local Blockbuster so it's nice to stop by last minute to pick up a movie and not have to pay anything on the spot for it... just my monthly rate for a store pick up and a mail in movie. It's more expensive than Netflix so that's why I want to change plus I like the option of streaming online. But, I don't have a good set up to watch streaming movies. I won't sit and watch a movie on my computer and it's a pain in the butt to connect my laptop up to my tv anytime I want to watch something on the tv. I have 2 HDMI inputs/cables for my tv but they are both used... by my DirecTv box and my dvd box. So anytime I want to watch something from my laptop, I have to pull things out, etc, etc.

But if your circumstance is right and have a good set up for streaming movies, Netflix all the way.
