To read more about online DVD rental, visit Kyle’s website. There you will find a more comprehensive review of Netflix and Blockbuster and comparisons of other companies that provide online movie rentals.
This is often the conflict consumers are left with when determining which way to rent and watch DVDs. Blockbuster is mostly recognized for having thousands of retail stores throughout the country and Netflix is an online DVD rental house. Blockbuster actually has joined the game of online DVD rental and now the two are in fierce competition to gain subscribers to each of their online DVD rental programs. So which one is better? Well, there is no real answer to this but your preferences. Each is covered and the benefits are listed to make the choice easier.
Netflix is the oldest online DVD rental service and is the most recognized. Blockbuster is a bit newer and has a lot of the same features as Netflix. Each offers DVDs deliver to your door in one to two days. Shipping is free and there are no late fees. This a monthly charge as a subscription. The movie watching is unlimited with almost all plans. Cost differs on how many DVDs the plan allows at one time.
Blockbuster has two advantages. The first is the number of plans offered. There are a total of eleven different plans for consumers to choose from. This makes it customizable to the consumer’s movie watching habits. The second unique selling point for Blockbuster is the use of their thousands of locations in their online DVD rental program. Blockbuster offers in-store exchanges of DVDs. This is something Netflix could never offer since the lack of infrastructure.
Netflix has two advantages as well. The first is the selection. They are well above their competition offering over 100,000 titles. Blockbuster has over 80,000 titles, but Netflix takes it the next level in selection. The second is the ability to stream content direct to your computer. Netflix offers over 20,000 different titles ready to be stream any time you want. This is the equivalent of Blockbuster’s in-store exchanges. `It allows consumers to fill that need for something different than what was received in the mail.
To choose goes beyond these two advantages from each. The decision of how each meets your needs is the prime factor. If watching on programming your computer is not the preferred method of entertainment then in-store exchanges could help you make up your mind. If never having to leave your home for your entertainment then Netflix could meet your needs. Compare each and see what will work best for you.
