DEAR Blockbuster:

"VERY long wait" .......is the equivalent of saying "we don't want or need your patronage.......go back to Netflix"

I have a dozen titles in my queue and only TWO are very long wait... as if that never happens at Netflix. Some people just love to complain.

When Netflix gives me HD channels, console games, DVD by mail w/ in-store exchange/return, then they will be the better of the two.

1 of 36 movies in my Netflix queue is short wait. 6 of 18 movies in my MP are short or long wait. HD channels come from DISH not BB. The console game thing would be a huge plus if they weren't all long wait. And all the BB stores in my town closed. So by your standards, which is the better service? I love DISH but Blockbuster has always been a shoddily run company and that's why they nearly went out of business. My hope is that Dish will make it a great company but they need honest feedback to make that happen.

I gotta say BB by mail has improved to Netflix levels for me. Actually better, considering no upcharge for BR, new releases without a month-long wait and actually a FEW 3D blurays. I just bumped to 2 @ a time because of this. It was pretty bad initially but for the last month it's been great. Example: I mail a return on Saturday, get an email re. delivery of same Monday, they mail a new one (and they have been NEW releases) same day and I receive it Tuesday or Wednesday. Hope it stays this way!

A follow up.....the particular title was promptly shipped by Netflix..I left it in my Blockbuster queue for a week...then removed it. Interestingly, even though it has been removed for close to a week....they sent a shipping email yesterday...which leads to another question...are there software bugs?.... Is the Blockbuster site compatible with all browsers? Netflix seems to offer a much more friendly interface and easier, more accurate search functions. I am using Firefox....AND another little bug....Blockbuster mailers blow.

Downriver, I use Firefox also and have never had any issues with the website. I do use the Blockbuster site rather than logging in through Dish as I like that format better, although admittedly they both are inferior in layout and features to Netflix (although the new Netflix streaming layout with the side scrolling drives me crazy...I HATE that!).

I like the smaller, more compact size of Blockbuster mailers over Netflix, but the quality of the mailers themselves are quite poor. Hopefully as time goes on we'll see a significant overhaul to the website, and perhaps the mailers, too. Not to mention the streaming interface.

It also helps to go into the 'my account' section and scroll down to QUEUE PREFERENCE SETTINGS and click on change under shipping. There you would switch the default speed option to Order and set some extra days to wait for a title while keeping the long wait titles at the top.

At least 64 dead in Spanish passenger train collision

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
