Netflix vs. Blockbuster Online

[Stereojack]

I've been a satisfied Netflix customer for almost 2 years now. We were originally given a 6 month membership as a gift, and continued our membership after the gift period ran out. In the time we have been members we have seen a price increase and then a decrease to below the initial price. We are very happy with the service, and in a few instances when the disc arrived damaged, the replacement process was smooth and hassle-free. The turnaround time is usually 2 or 3 business days. Netflix has revolutionized the movie rental business, and Blockbuster and a few others are getting into the act now. Netflix is now offering a wider variety of plans to suit the needs of individuals, responding to the competion, I guess. I've been a 3-at-a-time member all along, and it works fine.

Are multiple-disk sets counted as a single rental?

For example, the SCTV sets are 5 disks each. With the "3 at at time" plan I could rent all 3 sets at once?

No, you have to rent the discs separately.

Thanks.

I thought that would be too good to be true.

Whatever service you choose, I recommend renting the Sledgehammer series.

I just joined and thought about checking this out. Does Adam Ant sing 'Goody Two Shoes"?

I was thinking of joining Netflix. I tried to rent Downfall from the local blockbuster and it took four bleepin' tries before I finally got it.
