I'm trying to indoctrinate myself w/ the Buffy 'verse. Starting w/ season 1, all the way to the end. And yes, there have been other movies I've wanted to watch, not related to Buffy. So the PROBLEM is this.... Blockbuster keeps sending me discs out of order, even one time in the wrong damn package! I've tried clearing my que and starting over, so that there's no WAY they could screw it up, yet they keep on doing it. They send me doubles of discs i've already seen, so that as soon as I get one disc, I have to send it right back. THEN it takes the better part of a week before I can get ANOTHER disc, even though I've sent them everything I have.

I should be through w/ S5 by now, but instead I'm waiting for the last disc of S3!!!

Why can't it just go right ONCE ??

I recomend Netflix as well. I have been with them for a year and a half and I haven't had one single problem. I hated Blockbuster as a store, now I am glad I didn't use their online service.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

I had the exact same problem when I tried Blockbuster. I switched to Netflix. Problem solved.

No yeah, BB online pretty much sucks. All I hear is omplaints all day long about it. And I work at BB, so people are always coming to me. There's a number you can call, but I seriously wouldn't bother with it. If you want to go out with the rest of your subscription, when I go to work today, i could find it for you. But by the end of the month, I would throughly suggest switching to Netflix.

I was having a problem with netflix (I got two damaged disk and then one that didn't arrive for 10 days...) so I decided to do a head to head comparison with Blockbuster...

and netflix was WAY better! On their worst day netflix was still better....

ok, I'll fess up. I did Netflix before, and it's far better. But I sold my soul because I can rent games for 'free'.

I'm with Chrisisall on this one, just buying the complete series would be cheaper at this point.

Netflix rules.

Great for regular movies too-Just got BLAST FROM THE PAST today after sending another movie back on Wednesday-I hear Nathan is in it.

Bought 2 copies of FIREFLY so I don't have experience with that but I had a great experience with THE 4400-another good series IMHO but of course nothing can equal FIRFLY.

Hmmm, I use Blockbuster and have had no problems with them. Of course, I don't do series from them, so perhaps that's different.

Just buy them...if you can afford it...since a share of the profits goes to Joss (at least I'd hope it does!!!).

I will add my voice to those who recommend Netflix. I was with them for a while, and I only suspended my account out of a sense of monetary responsibility. Out of the probably hundreds of DVDs I rented through them, only a small few were damaged, and they were awesome about sending replacement discs. Combine that with their great selection of obscure and foreign movies, I'm looking forward to restarting my account soon.

To hell with Blockbuster.

It's worse than you know. Finally got more disc in the mail. But for some inexplicable reason, I'm getting S4, and not S3 which is where I left off. So, I guess I have to watch S4 now, and then go back to watch S3 ?

But you are right. It's the series thing which is messing this up. With just movies, I had no problem, but if just one of the series isn't ready for shipment, the whole set doesn't move. At least not for me, it doesn't.

The main reason I use blockbuster instead of netflix is for the 2 free game rental coupons I get each month with bb. I've used netflix before, and never had a problem w/ it in the least. Might try them again pretty damn soon.
