Always got busted DVDs...customer service sucked unless you sent them nastygrams oh and don't EVER listen to what someone in a store tells you...they are LYING!!!!!!!!!

wildblue 7 #3 June 27, 2008 I've got the three-at-a-time, unlimited mailings, unlimited in store exchanges, + 2 movie or game coupons/month. $20/month. I like it... I rarely do the in-store exchanges. I've been a member pretty much since they started the thing. A few times I've had to bitch about the wait times for some of the movies, they usually say "We're sorry.... here, have a free in-store rental for your troubles" The game rental is really what swayed me to them from Netflix, and now the in-store exchange thingy makes it even better.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #4 June 27, 2008 I really dig Netlix's instant watch, though. I plug my wife's laptop up to the TV and BAM, movie on demand instantly. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 7 #5 June 27, 2008 How's the picture quality on that? I've done that a few times through my Tivo (torrents or amazon's unbox) ... wasn't bad, but wasn't great. Hard to go from BluRay to that though :Dit's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougH 270 #7 June 27, 2008 I got my plan when it first came out, I barely use it though. For some reason I don't cancle it because my plan goes for about 60 bucks now, and I only pay 19 or so. Some fawking logic. The service itself has been great, I just don't have time to watch dvds much."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I kept getting 'grandfathered' in, so I can't bring myself to cancel either. I get 2 coupons a month for movies or games too... they don't even do that anymore it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klingeme 1 #9 June 30, 2008 I had it for about 6 months, but they raised their price by $10 just as Netfix lowered their by $5 (or something like that) so I dropped BB and have been with netflix for about 2 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #10 June 30, 2008 The concern with Netflix is that I had a friend who had it. She tried to cancel due to how slow it was to get the next movies. It practically took an act of Congress to get the situation resolved and for them to quit hitting her card every month for it. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

poe62 0 #11 June 30, 2008 I love it, I have the 3 at a time unlimited in-store exchanges for over a year now. My movies come within a day since I think the distributor is by me. I've never had any problems. I love it!~Nikki http://www.facebook.com/poe62 Irgity Dirgity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #12 June 30, 2008 At the current moment, the "3 movies at a time, unlimited by mail and unlimited in-store exchanges" is $34.99. I don't think I'm ready to invest that much a month in movies. I was looking at the "3 movies at a time, unlimited by mail and 5 in store exchanges." It's only $19.99 a month. The "2 movies at a time, unlimted by mail and 3 in-store exchanges" is $16.99. I couldn't see that THAT was a very good deal. Do they add tax on top of the advertised price? That happened to me on a record club I joined. Then again....I keep asking myself, 'How many movies can one person ACTUALLY watch?' A basic in store rental is (with tax) almost $5 each. And with gas the price it is, I'm cheap and don't want to drive much. So, I'd need to be able to watch at least 4+ movies to make it a break even situation. Otherwise, I keep going to Redbox, where rentals are only $1 (plus tax) each. But unless I pre-reserve them on line and then go pick them up, I often miss the movies I want to see. That takes me back to the "I don't want to drive much" thing, though. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

Yes, they do...I worked at a store that was a distributor, so I know the system, but the stores distribute, and corporate handles financials...which also means that customer service can be hit or miss...

AggieDave 6 #14 June 30, 2008 Hey, thanks for waving back last Tuesday, I saw you at University and Texas, I was on my motorcycle. We were facing each other at the light, both first in line and I was waving like an idiot. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AggieDave 6 #16 July 1, 2008 I saw that illegally registered truck without the front license plate, having become disobedient with the novelty Georgia plate on a Ford...well, I knew it was you. Then you drove by since your side turned green before mind did. Then I knew for a fact it was you. That's cool, you were on your cell phone, so of course you didn't notice a guy on a motorcycle. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

boinky 0 #17 July 1, 2008 Damn, Dave!! Can't you crucify the one who's fault it really is that the truck is still illegal for a change??? Oh yeah....it's legally registered. Just in the wrong state!!
