With Netflix and torrents...who still does this? h:



BTW...if you rent from Hollywood Video often, I have a stack of Rent 1, Rent 1 Free coupons. Basically 2 videos or games for the the price one. I also have a stack of Free Kids Rental. They expire Feb 15. If you want a few...let me know.

I did Netflix for about 6 months but noticed that by the time I got the ones in my queue I had already rented them at the store down the road.

I am an instant gratuity kind of person and if I want to watch something then I want to watch it now not in a week or two at best.

Yea. But when I had their online service and Netflix...Netflix was better by 1000 miles. Blockbuster had a smaller selection and was much slower. The only perk from Blockbuster was the instore rental...which is like once a month?
