Christmas Gift from Blockbuster

Tiffany and I have been fans of Blockbuster Total Access for a while now. We originally used Netflix until Blockbuster came out with a deal that blew Netflix away... We were paying 17.99/month, got 3 movies at a time, could exchange them in the store for a few movie, plus, we got one free GAME or movie per month. It was a steal. A few months ago, Blockbuster decided to change the plan on everybody. OK. So now we could only exchange 5 movies per month and we no longer got the free game. Well, Blockbuster, who is failing miserably, has given us a Christmas gift. Now, we get to pay $2 more per month for the same service. Some people are paying even more! On top of that, half the movies that we have in the queue have had "long wait" listed next to them for months now....

Sorry Blockbuster, but I think Netflix has won back my business. Netflix has the leg up now. We can get 3 movies at a time for $3 less than Blockbuster. On top of that, we can watch movies over the internet. Since we have a great internet connection and decent monitors, this will be good. Sure, we do not get to go into Blockbuster now to trade DVD's, but that's ok... It will save on gas! =)
