But in comparison I was with Netflix for 4 years and the wait time kept getting longer even for average rated movies in my Queue. to recieve a movie with a short or long wait I had to empty my queue and it shortend waits just a bit, many weekends I did not recieve my 3 Netflix movies. Since I started using blockbuter nearly a year ago, I no longer suffer long waits and get what I want. The only drawback is that Blockbuster takes at least 1 extra day to process movies returned via mail. The other problem is it takes them 3 days to process movies returned in a store. Overall, if you stick with mail I have found blockbuster to be much better. I have used both Blockbuster and Netflix.

But even, then I think they will allow most people to continue with this tactic. Most people don't have the discipline to continually cancel!
