So what’s this commotion about Netflix? When I first joined, I thought what a nice service. Don’t have to go to the store and you get some of the latest releases to date. The big word, “some!”

Then I started to receive a bunch of cracked and scratched discs. It wasn’t just a few, but a lot. A lot of DVDs wouldn’t even play on my Xbox 360 because they were so screwed up. A lot of these were kind of old DVDs, but still that shouldn’t matter. My buddy is like just report it. I’m thinking that shouldn’t be my job, that’s the packers. I’m thinking that some of these packers see it and don’t even care. When I think of it, they probably just get payed minimum wage. They probably could give two shits!

The one disc I received was cracked almost all the way to the middle, it was easily noticeable and if you ran you finger across it, you could definitely feel it. The main reason I bought a subscription was to get the latest movies on DVD. That’s pretty much impossible, I had Quarantine in my queue for a whole month, I finally came to my senses and said screw it and canceled my account. The movie isn’t even a 3 star movie, just a B movie, if that.

My buddy explained to me that there is a trick to get the latest movies, you have to make another profile or something. But, I’m thinking, screw that. That’s not going to solve anything, as soon as everyone starts doing that, same thing will happen.

So I joined Blockbuster Online. I think their service is the best! Soon as I put Quarantine in my queue, I immediately noticed that there wasn’t any wait. That goes for other releases also. And there’s another good thing about Blockbuster. If you don’t want to wait for the latest release, you can actually visit the store and see if they have a copy. Your chances are good, on the flip side of that you could be a Netflix customer and wait a whole month for a movie. Maybe longer!

Then they try to push the whole instant movie section, like you can rent a ton of movies through their instant streaming section. Let me tell you it’s not cracked up to what it’s made out to be. There’s only a few movies that are good, most of the selection are movies you haven’t even heard of. The movies that are good are the movies you’ve seen over and over on cable. And when they do add movies, they are very limited and low budget.

From my experience, the company is like Bose. Lots of advertising that makes you think they are the best. Bose is most definitely not the best speaker company! There are many other speaker companies out there that have better speakers.
