Well that whole Netflix bullshit worked out more than for the best.
Not only did I get a free month at Blockbuster Online, saving $18 this month for switching... But I now know that Blockbuster, no matter how much I thought I hated them as a company, is a far better service.
Not only do they NOT throttle their customers whatsoever (as far as I've read online) they actually have barcodes on the envelopes that the post office scans in, reporting to Blockbuster that they've collected the disc and that it's on its way back to them.
What this means is that they're shipping out my next discs, even before they get the last ones back! Right now I actually have five discs reported as "shipped" and in my posession.
So they're actually FASTER than Netflix, even when Netflix ISN'T throttling your ass.
Some of their popular movies are on waits though, but the four free store rental coupons a month will get me something like Walk the Line from my local Blockbuster for sure.
