Okay you penny pinching bastards. I have accounts with both Blockbuster and Netflix. I like things about both of them but I am thinking about getting rid of one because I don't use them enough now that I am working 60+ hours a week. Here's the breakdown;

Netflix
$8.99 plus $2 for BR/month 1 disk at a time, unlimited streaming.

Good-Free (and rather good quality) live streaming to my PS3, and all of my computers. Decent disc library/selection. Fast turnaround.

Bad-Disks are mail only. Streaming library still needs some work. Weak Blu Ray selection. Extra charge for Blu Ray access.

Blockbuster
$17/month 3 disks at a time, unlimited in store trade ins.

Good-Large Blu Ray selection. Can trade movies in at store and get new movie for free (no return date/late fees this way, btw). Huge library.

Bad-You have to pay for streaming and the selection is weak anyway. Slow movie turnaround.

Okay, which does everyone think I should keep?
