Interesting. You are one of the few people who say they like Blockbuster. I am just curios, what did you like about Blockbuster and how did it (does it?) compare to Netflix?

I like that I can take a movie (after receiving it in the mail and watching it) to the store to immediately pick out a new one with my wife or my kids. It's instant gratification, and I don't have to wait for my best selection (usually).
Also, I get a free coupon every month for an additional in-store game or movie. My kids love this for games.
Lastly, you can now add games to your queue online, so it's like Gamefly + Movies.
Netflix's streaming library is weak, and now that Blockbuster has dropped store inventory and changed their rental periods, I have to watch a movie in a day in order to avoid a late fee.
Bait and switch.
