Blockbuster DVD Movie Rental By Mail Service Is Now BETTER Than NetFlix

Since the start, Netflix dominated the DVD rental scene -- because they invented it. They had the head start to build out tons of distribution centers across the country so that any mailing would be close enough to your home that you'd get it pretty much the next day. When Walmart and Blockbuster.com started their own copycat DVD rental-by-mail services, customers experienced waits of 2-4 days because they were mailing to all customers from from 1 or 2 different centers in the country (and we live in a BIG country). In addition, Netflix stocked thousands of videos - much more than your local Blockbuster store, as well as the competitor's DVD's by mail movie services. If you did any compariso

Up to now, Blockbuster's retails stores have taken huge hits because of DVD's by mail rental programs cropping up as well as cable Pay Per View. Well, Blockbuster finally figure out a way to make their brick-and-morter presences into a competitive advantage against NetFlix.com: They let you return the DVD's you got in the mail to your local store *and* immediately take out another DVD to take home that same day *and* they'll ship you your next DVD rental in the mail so that you'll get it in a day or two. Immediate satisfaction plus some. Not bad, huh?

Blockbuster.com has been hitting the airwaves hard with TV commercials lately to promote their program. At the same price as NetFlix, there's now a tangible reason to try out Blockbuster's DVD Movie Mail Rental Program. Plus, Blockbuster has added 2 in-store movie rentals per month to the package, putting Blockbuster's Movie Rental Service over the top vs. Netflix. And if that's not enough, they've taken their discounted $9.99/1st month promotional offer and replaced it with a totally free trial offer that can be found in certain places.

If you use NetFlix, you should try the free Blockbuster.com trial and even do a head-to-head mailing speed competition between the two services. Having the option to go to the local store to get another video + 2 more free videos per month makes it a real serious contender to replace NetFlix.
