Default Re: Blockbuster.com had been down all weekend it seems

Another vote for Netflix. I've had an account with them for at least five years (probably longer) and have never had a problem. Not once has Netflix been down when I've perused it. I've always gotten my new movies within 2 days of returning the old. Plus I've downloaded some movies and watched them on my PC.

I know there is a certain convenience to being able to run down to Blockbuster's but, to me, that was far outweighed by Blockbuster's demanding directors have self-imposed censorship so that Blockbuster's would be willing to rent their movies on CD. Censorship in any form is truly wrong to me -- I'd like to think people are able to make their own decisions on what to watch and read.

So, would definitely recommend Netflix -- three movies out a time but unlimited as to number of movies rented in one month, great library of old and new movies, very good customer service.
