    BB@ Home disc By Mail Ending September 19th

    I can still get into my BB@Home queue. My queued titles are still there (all 7 of them). It shows that I have no discs at home, so the Criterion disc I received Tuesday (Ballad of Narayama) was indeed a gift. I go directly to this url: http://www.blockbuster.com/browse/queuemgmt/fullQueue

    BB@ Home disc By Mail Ending September 19th

    I checked the 'rent or buy' option for each of the 7 titles left in my queue, and oddly enough, none of them are available to buy. You'd think that if they were shutting down the rental side, they'd have a closeout sale. I certainly would buy a few titles, at least $120 worth (the amount I'll...

    List your Distribution Center!

    Mine were coming from Portland until recently. The Portland center was really good -- I always got two-day turnaround. The latest title I received came from Seattle and that was more like a 10-day turnaround. I am hoping the Portland center is still open.

    Blockbuster to close Dallas Distribution Center

    Only 10% (BB) - 20% (NF) of the DVD rental titles are available on streaming, and given the propensity of the content providers to raise their prices each year, I don't see those numbers changing. The price paid for streaming content, in other words, is market-driven, not technology-driven...

    Blockbuster Movie Pass performance thread

    I mailed a disc back to BB on Saturday, and on Monday they said they had received the disc and were shipping the next one, to arrive on Wednesday. It actually arrived on Tuesday. NF can't beat that for turnaround time. (I have the one-disc-at-a-time option and the zip for my BB distribution...

    Blockbuster Movie Pass performance thread

    I also got my disc a day ahead of schedule (ordered Saturday, arrived Wednesday instead of Thursday). I'm not impressed, however: the zip code on their return address is right next to mine -- the distribution center is within three miles of my house! You'd think they could have managed Tuesday...

    Blockbuster Movie Pass performance thread

    I added 30 titles to the new Blockbuster queue on Saturday. Today two of them show 'very long wait', one shows 'long wait', and the rest are still 'now'. It shows that I will get my first choice on Thursday ('The Irony of Fate, Or: Enjoy your Bath'). I will only get the first half of the...

    DISH / Blockbuster Announcement Discussion Thread!

    Well, I'm excited about this. I did a comparison between Blockbuster and Netflix, based on the most recent 10 DVD's I have rented. Blockbuster offers 9 out of the 10 (the missing one was just released to dvd three weeks ago); and it looks like Blockbuster is going to have close to half of the...
