Blockbuster Keeps Sending Me Movies The Day They Come Out

I know Netflix gets all the praise on the internet, but I have to give Blockbuster some credit too. This week, Blockbuster is sending me the blu-ray version of Green Zone and She’s Out of My League. When I was a Netflix subscriber, I never got a blu-ray movie the day it came out. In fact, I would be happy if I got a movie within a month of it coming out.

Blockbuster regularly ships me blu-ray movies the day they come out. Last week, I got Alice and Wonderland the day  it came out along with Shutter Island. Meanwhile, Netflix subscribers are still waiting the mandatory month Netflix agreed with the movie studios. On top of that, they will likely wait weeks until the movies are available while paying extra for blu-rays too.

I do miss the internet streaming Netflix provides, but I  rather watch movies I want to see. Also, there are enough shows and movies on my DVR along with Hulu to keep me busy for weeks. Internet steaming will take over one day, but that day is not now. Right now, I want blu-ray movies the day they come out, and only Blockbuster provides that.
