If Jessica Simpson Chooses Blockbuster Video Online, So Should You

Ok, case closed, if Jessica Simpson chooses Blockbuster's Total Access DVD Rental Program over Netflix, shouldn't you?

Why is Jessica Simpson even involved with Blockbuster? She's not even a movie star!?!?! Movies ---> Blockbuster....Jessica Simpson--->WHY?

The only way is to try it and find out why, I guess. Thank goodness it's free to try the service.

Animal Instinct Is To Choose Blockbuster Video over Netflix.com, Shouldn't You?

Blockbuster has added 800,000 new subscribers to the Total Access DVD's-by-Mail Rental Program. Almost a MILLION people can't be wrong. But if little hamsters also choose Blockbuster Video, then you have to jump on the bandwagon right now, right?

New DVD Player Means I Need DVD's

Just got the Philips DVD Player which also supports DivX format movies for our master bedroom. Now I can archive movies and watch some of the increasing available movies in the more compressed DivX format. The only question I have is how to add subtitle files to the movie DVD's that are burned in DivX format - it's supposed to be as easy as dropping in the subtitile file into the same folder as the movie files, but it doesn't seem to be so easy. Perhaps my DVD player doesn't support DivX subtitles, but I believe it does. I'll have to Google it one day soon.

In the meantime, I guess that means I need more DVD content to watch. The Video Library just closed down on our town's "main street" which was an independent video rental store. Just another sign the local rentals are being killed by downloaded movies, pay per view, fiber optic TV, and the biggie - DVD Rental Services like NetFlix.

I personally didn't sign up for NetFlix yet for some reason. Partially because I was able to get tons of free movie rental coupons for Blockbuster, although it's 3 miles away, about 8 minutes away from our house. Close enough to go, but far enough to not go every week when you get the slight urge to watch a movie. Instead, we usually hit the Tivo Now's Playing list. Another reason why Blockbuster ain't doing so well.

Anyway, NetFlix seems to be the answer as of now, so I headed over to NetFlix and guess what? I was pleasantly surprised that they now offer plans that don't cost $20+/month. They even have plans for $5/month for their budget DVD movie rental plan. Not bad.

Time to take NetFlix for a spin. Millions of people can't be wrong about how convenient it is to rent DVD's by mail with pretty much overnight delivery if you order early enough, right? I think it's like a Tivo thing - most people know about it. A large chunk of people get it. The rest have some inertia, knowning that it's a good thing, they should probably get it, but just haven't. It's just a matter of time. For us, the time seems to be now. :-)
