What is the best online DVD movie rental company and why?

I have used both Blockbuster and Netflix.  Both allow you to have up to 3 movies at a time and both provide free shipping and handling.  I do, however, prefer Netflix over Blockbuster because when I order a movie from them I get it next day whereas with Blockbuster is takes about 3 days to get it.  Also when you return movies to Netflix, they process them quicker than Blockbuster does and they send you a new one out faster.

Try Bittorrent.  That sometimes works well for people.  Otherwise you might have to go through one of those deals they have at like the quicktime site.  I use utorrent for most movies because they have a wide selection of films available FOR FREE.  Check their search ( http://www.torrentspy.com/ )engine for more details.  It has been my experience that most of the files available through .torrent interfaces are clean and virus free, so I think this is the best way to get the movies you want without the hassle of viruses, shady credit card intereactions, and spyware.  =)\n\nMorpheus, Shareaza, and some other interfaces handle .torrent files, so you might do well to work with one of those you already have downloaded...  Otherwise, I've included links for you to get a .torrent handler.\n\nSoulseek sometimes has movies available too.

I have netflix and like it.  It is convenient... sometimes the delivery time is longer than I would like but overall it is better than going to the rental place.  I hear that they have more movie selections than the Blockbuster deal...

You always get great service with NetFlix.  Not so much with Blockbuster.  Netflix always comes on time, replaces any DVDs that are scratched, is affordable, and charges no hidden fees.  Unlike Blockbuster which always overcharges, has tons of hidden fees, and has long lines!

bb if you live near a blockbuster, they give you free coupons for additional "in store rentals which is not bad if you are at your limit, u can still get a movie. But netflix is the cheaper of the 2 if you are planning 1 movie at a time

I ordered a case of Pocky from them once and got it without a problem, so ordering DVDs from them should be fine.  Amazon.com also has a good selection of anime.

I use Netflix and it's way better than going to a rental store. It cost much less, it only takes one day for the movies to get here, you can keep them as long as you want with no late fees, and they provide postage paid envelopes to return them. I am very satisfied with Netflix and highly reccomend them.

lots of people been asking these kind of questions in computer forum..\n\nas far i know, plextor provide the best optical drives, despite the fact that they are more expensive.. if you are in budget then go of NEC .\n\nif you use lots of ur dvdr-w room, you will notice the performance will decrease from time to time, so it is good to have 2 burner and use them alternatively

Yes, I use Blockbuster Online. The new program is called Total Access or something like that. I'm on the 3 out at a time plan, and with tax it's about $19 a month or so. When I'm finished watching the mailed movies, I return them in the store and when they scan the barcode off of the return envelope, that acts like a coupon for a free in-store movie. No catch. They also give you a free in-store movie coupon each week that you print out. Right now I have 6 rentals from the store, and 2 mailed movies, since I just returned a mailed movie today. I love it, although I'm finding it hard to find time to watch everything now, since I work 2 jobs! I had a free trial of Netflix last year, and they were too slow for me. Blockbuster even has faster shipping, at least in my area. Definitely go with Blockbuster Online. I've been telling everyone what a great value it's been, especially since rentals at my Blockbuster are almost $5 each! Way too much. If you do the math, I'm getting my rentals for less than a $1 each now.

A Side-by-Side Comparison and Conclusion\n \nWhen comparing Netflix with Blockbuster Online, there are so many similarities that it may seem like a toss-up.  The giants of the online DVD rental explosion are feeding off each other's ideas, spawning lawsuits and smearing campaigns that rival the cola wars of the mid-1980's.\n \nBoth programs allow us to pay a monthly fee, for which we receive DVD movies sent through the mail.  When we return them in the postage paid envelopes, we receive more DVD's.  It's an ongoing cycle that fits almost perfectly with the current American need to get the most out of the least -- more movies for less money, less effort, and less time.\n \nSide by side, they are almost identical, but here is how they stack:\n \nSpeed of Delivery\nNetflix used to have the clear edge here, but expansion to include more distribution stores has brought Blockbuster up to par.  Still, for those who rent less, Netflix "ramps" the movies to these higher priority customers, pushing the heavier renters further down the list.  To this, they have admitted.  Blockbuster has not admitted to this practice, but their denials are not firm.  Still, Netflix will have a higher overall percentage of 1 day turns on movies than Blockbuster.\nEdge: Netflix\n \nCost\nThere is not a current difference in cost, though this seems to change every few months.  When one lowers, the other matches.  When one raises, the other follows.  It is similar to airlines manipulating the markets towards their own unintended dooms.  In the short run, Blockbuster offers a free month while Netflix offers 2-weeks.  Blockbuster also has a customer service crew that offers discounts and "mishap compensation" more easily.\nEdge: Blockbuster Online\n \nSelection\nNetflix is approaching 60,000, while Blockbuster is closing in on 55,000.\nEdge: Netflix\n \nWebsite\nFrom talking to many users, it seems that while the concepts of listing movies on a queue and searching for movies in several different ways is the same for both, Netflix has the superior overall layout and useability.  Its website seems smarter, though sometimes a bit slower during peak periods.\nEdge: Netflix\n \nFringe Benefits\nNetflix has none.  What you see is what you get.  The fact that Blockbuster offers a free in-store rental every week is extremely helpful in getting the newest releases.  With both programs, you sometimes have to wait weeks to get the hottest titles, even if it is at the top of your queue.  Being able to walk in and grab that week's best title is something that Netflix cannot touch.\nEdge: Blockbuster Online\n \nIntangibles\nNetflix has more experience with online DVD renting, both in regards to time and sheer mass of customers.  Blockbuster, as mentioned before, has superior and more responsive customer service.  Having a human being available at the local store to help during problems is a big benefit.  If there was a large enough gap in any of the above mentioned criteria, I would say that they supercede the intangibles.  In this case, there is no substantial difference.  The more human aspect of Blockbuster makes it the choice.\nEdge: Blockbuster Online\n \nWhen all is said and done, Blockbuster online seems to be the choice.  I would suggest doing like me – try both.  Just email me and I'll send you a promo code for a free month of either or both.\nfedexkinkos1@yahoo.com
