Which is the better online movie rental company netflix or blockbuster online?

Kenbo: I have only used blockbuster online. It is pretty sweet, they come fast and you can return the movie from the mail in the store to get a free rental in the store.

I like my Netflix account. That being said, it all depends on the key feature that you want. If you want the ability to return into stores and then continue renting with that possibility if you need another quicker than snail mail, go Blockbuster. Netflix has rivaled that with their instant viewing, which streams videos to your computer or Xbox 360 (and there are a couple other devices that i'm not sure of).

I guess I might be impartial working at Blockbuster, but definitely Blockbuster! Here is why its better. Instead of mailing your rentals back to Blockbuster, you bring them in store. When you do that, they give you a free rental for each one you bring back.

Not only is that great, when they scan the mailer, that electronically gives Blockbuster the signal to send out your next mailer! So the time to get your next mailer is cut 50% in half! Since they'll get it anyway by the store mailing it, why NOT send out your next mailer? With those two things in mind, I don't know how Netflix could compete.

Why go to the store when you don't have to leave the house? Hah, it's all preference. You could argue that Netflix's instant library isn't that good but it's improving. 1080i office in a couple minutes FTW.
