For me BB is by FAR the best value .. it may be because i was grandfathered in since ive been around for awhle ... For $21.99 a month i get 3 moves mailed to me and then trade those in for 3 new moves (Always Blu ray) anytime i wish at the store (No Limit on my plan) ..Plus i get 2 free game /movie coupons emailed to me ea month .. if everyone got the same deal no one would complain

Sadly I have the same deal situation and we've recently lost one of our rental "whatever you want free" coupons. I'm beginning to experience queue idling again and BM stores apparently across the board are lacking immensely in the Blu-ray or game rental departments from what they claim and advertise.
BB has been on Blu-ray's jock from the get go pretty much and they still lack a decent Hi-Def library. So much for promoting a format they appear to half heartedly support. I know it will take time to catch up due to movies not yet appearing on Blu-ray or due to how voluminous a venture it all is to rebuild a film library, but why doesn't BB have any and all recently released movies on Blu-ray? Very very suspect and very very cheap. Pretty annoying. Plus they might as well drop their game rentals if they are only sure to have say a Star Wars game on launch but Brothers in Arms a week later to never. Seriously annoying.
In the end and currently, Netflix is losing for me only because of wait time, but then again BB Online has been slacking regardless which makes it almost like not having a BM option, speed of service and or Hi-Def movie watching options. If only I could get Netflix & Gamefly at around what I pay for BBO service now.
