Total Access? (Reply to this comment)

Blockbuster Online is becoming more like NetFlix with regard to "throttling" or slowing down shipment of your next movie. I live 35 miles from Blockbuster's distribution center in Denver. I am a member of both NetFlix and Blockbuster Online. Netflix transit time is one day consistantly. Blockbuster takes 1-3 days to ship a movie. Blockbuster states when you exchange an online movie at a blockbuster store, your account is credited immediately and your next movie will ship the next business day.Not true. It typically takes Blockbuster 2-3 days to realize that you have turned in your movie to the store. They will then take 2 more days to ship your next selection. That slowdown increases their profit margin and limits the number of movies you have out at one time. Yes, they call it "unlimited". Joining Blockbuster Online is workable for about two months before the slowdown occurs. Count on good service for 6-8 weeks and then quit.

Starting December 19, 2006, Blockbuster Total Access (online) is giving customers 1 free video game rental each month plus the first month is free.

Sign up at http://www.blockbuster.com/bbfamily
First month free with promo code 1557TA

Facts:

1. Offer changes to 2-week trial beginning Jan 15 2007. 3 movies out at a time.
2. Members will be able to exchange online movies for titles at their local bb store for no charge. (online mailer/movie will work like a coupon). As soon as the online movies are exchanged at the store the next movies in your que will ship as well. YES YOU WOULD THEN HAVE 6 MOVIES AT ONCE WHEN THE ONLINE TITLES ARRIVE!!
3. Members will also receive 1 in store coupon every month for a free movie OR video game (even during free month).
4. Only $17.99 per month after the 1st month.

The new Total Access feature is the best! Unless Netflix lowers its prices substantially, I think I will stick with Blockbuster.com permanently. It's going to be tough for Netflix to compete with an offer like this.
