Netflix or Blockbuster
February 6th, 2007 | by Ridhima Suri |Do you watch movies and subscribe to either of these two online DVD rentals??
This is how it works.
Netflix
1. Create your own list of movies to be rented online (remember to include the list of significant others also!!)
2. Get DVDs by mail (My friends get three at a time (Unlimited plan), and they pay 17.99$ a month)
3. Watch them.
4. Mail back.
5. Get the next in your online list by mail.
What I do…ahem, we subscribe to Blockbuster
1. Create our list of movies/TV series to be rented online.
2. Get three DVDs by mail.
3. Watch them…
4. Feel like watching more, so do not drop them in the mailbox and wait for the next ones to arrive.
5. Go to the nearest Blockbuster Store and get an in-store exchange. This is the fun part where you can choose your own movie by looking through the aisles!! Also, at check – out, they ask you if you want pop-corn with the movie..:)
6. Return them to the store.
We subscribed to Blockbuster for two reasons.
a) you get to watch more movies for the same price (3+3)
b) I kinda like to go to a store and choose my movie, sometime….:)
But here is the cliché. Netflix has a very good system of suggestions when you make your list online, which we do no find in the Blockbuster system!!
