I dropped Netflix for Blockbuster for this very reason. It's so much more convenient to have a queue full of Blu-ray/HD-DVD movies, and then just return them in the store (which is about 2 miles from me) for more Blu-ray titles (usually the newer releases that sometimes have a wait online).
I wasn't aware that there was a limit to how many you can swap in-store though, because I'm pretty sure that I've done more than 5 in a single month before (but I don't know for sure).
I also get 2 free rental coupons per month that I use for games. Overall, these added values are way worth the extra day it takes to get the movies in the mail compared to Netflix.
