I didn't realize you guys were such Netflix fanboys. I guess I was too until "Cinderella Man" sat at number 1 in my Netflix queue for 4 weeks when it was released back in 2005/2006. I applaud your loyalty (considering Netflix came up with the concept), but I have never regretted the switch to Blockbuster. In-store Blu-ray exchanges, no HD premiums, HD-DVD rentals, quicker turn around, consistent new release shipments (the day before you can pickup in the store) make Blockbuster better in my opinion. The Netflix streaming is the only advantage I see (if you value SD content). If Netflix offers free HD downloads to the Xbox360, I might consider switching back. If you have a Blockbuster store close to home, but it's hard to argue Blockbuster takes a great service and makes it better.
