Wow, DivX, heh. The frist DVD player I ever bought at Circuit City had DivX disc compatibility. That format bit the dust pretty quickly.

Yeah, $10-$15 is way too steep for a downloaded movie, even to own it.

I'll buy it when it's between $5-$8.

Sorry but in my house, the XBox 360 won the media center war because of the Netflix streaming. It was a killer app when announced and is a killer app still.

Sounds like they got the name from Veruca Salt.

Blockbuster is so adorably clueless. Someone needs to sign them up for a Netflix subscription and maybe then they will finally understand.

There is a serious upside to BB. They actually stock enough new DVD's and BluRay's. NetFlix is ALWAYS "Long Wait" for new stock.

@FrankenPC: I've only encountered a delay once or twice, having rented several hundered movies from Netflix.

@Zlevee:
You are in the minority then because all I ever get from NetFlix is long waits for Blu Rays. For example, the Blu Ray for Tropic Thunder came out on November 18th and was at the top of my list. It is still there and I am nearing month two of waiting for it.

@scaught78: Actually, while I do not have experience with Tropic Thunder, I do know that Netflix often says "long wait" (especially on Blu-ray titles) and suddenly the movie shows up for us. Until we have a larger polling, I am not certain your experience is the norm. It could be that the distribution station for where you live is having issues, but the one we have in Tacoma, Washington has been on top of it for the years we have used it.

@scaught78: as Monty says, it might just be your location and their distribution center. I was in Central NJ, now I'm still in NJ but just across the river from Manhattan. In both places not only did i not have delays, but also the turnaround on any rental is crazy fast. If I drop a disc in the mail before the 1st pickup on Monday, I'll have a new disc by Wednesday.
