Thread: goodbye bb--returning to netflix

Two months with BB. 45 discs in my Queue, and the first 32 have Wait and have had this from the beginning so I have never gotten any of my most desired movies to watch.

I had 2 discs for a $15 fee. The movie channels didn't offer anything new to me and the streaming (especially the Search function) is laborious to go through.

I had kept netflix streaming for $8.

So I used the $15 to get 2 bluray dvd's added to my netflix streaming and copied my BB queue over therre.

Guess what? All but 4 movies are available now, and those 4 have Short wait. 6 of the movies are available for streaming so I added them to my IQ.

It took 3 days for me to get my BB discs once they shipped, and my netflix discs arrive the following day.

Goodbye BB. I just had to vent so excuse me.

I hope more people realize the same and move back to Netflix!

I have nothing against Netflix, they sure have the shipping down to a science. I still have Netflix streaming and hope they stay in business for a very long time. For discs, Blockbuster is a much better deal for me since I get good shipping times and the free in-store exchanges at my local store which is very close to my home in an area we frequent several times per week at least. I have watched six new release movies in one weekend with the three out at a time plan and the in-store exchanges. I could have never done that with Netflix with a three out plan.

Nevertheless, if Netflix is better for you or anyone else, by all means you should go over to them. No one here minds a bit. If they were better for me, I'd do the same.

We have BlockBuster and Netflix streaming and enjoy both. Never had a problem from Blockbuster - steady supply of discs by mail one right after the other.

No problem with BB at all, a terrific value for us. You didn't like any of the channels, we love the channels....

Why should I switch to netflix, BB has given my everything I have asked for and yet to have a single problem. If I ship a disc back on monday, I have a new one on Wed. You can have netflix, I'll stick with BB thank you very much!

Since you're not watching the channels or streaming the movies that comes with it, sure why not drop it. But your reasons are far from my experience as we watch those channels all the time. I just watched "True Grit" for free on the receiver. I do have some Blu rays waiting not available but have received several also. Blu ray rental free is great for us.
