Both...I like Blockbuster better b/c if you take the movie back to a store you get a free movie and they still send a new one in the mail.

I have tried both and do like the in store option that BB gives you but to me that defeats the purpose of having the movies shipped to you. I'm not sure which NF service center covers Memphis but NF has a center in Birmingham which is an hour away. I return today, they get tomorrow, they ship new movie tomorrow, and I get the new movie the following day - 3 day complete turn around. NF on line account management is easier too and they have a "watch on line" feature.

If you have an Xbox 360, go Netflix. They are about to release every movie in the Netflix library onto the 360 that Netflix users can stream instantly over the television.

I had Netflix, but canceled because we didn't use it much. I'd have movies sitting around for a couple of weeks before I'd get a chance to watch them.

If you have the time, and watch a ton of movies Netflix is definitely worth it.

Definitely Netflix, especially if you have kids. My Wife and I will watch a few movies a month, but we shuttle the kids movies back and forth all the time.

Same situation here in Columbia. We have a NF service center outside of the city and it's a 3 day turnaround, sometimes 2 day depending on our lazy mail-carrier....

I've been with Netflix since they only had the distribution center in San Jose and it took 3 days to get your movie if it means anything. Then the glorious day when they opened one in Decatur, GA. Then they put one in Memphis several years ago. I'd never consider going to Blockbuster Online and, like someone said, doing the return at the store thing TOTALLY defeats the purpose. Every once in a while, I'll do the Kroger dollar thing if I've been throttled by my friends at Netflix.

Edit: That last part doesn't sound good if you don't know what it means to be throttled. (see Chavez v. Netflix)

The Kroger Rent-A-Movie does have some good movies for $.99 a day

Yeah; though, the last one I saw out of the kiosk was Semi Pro and I should have asked for about $.61 back. It's a pain in the @$$ versus Netflix, but it's less of a pain than going to a Blockbuster.
