    Ever since they did away with late fees they are always out of stock. The last three times I've been they've been out of the movie I wanted. Guess it's time to check out NetFlix.

    Hell BlockBuster just dropped their prices on Movie pass to 14.99 a month after a month at 9.99. They were 14.99 a month for the first and 24.99 after that. All the movies you want in a month (3 at a time). BlockBuster.com 0nline is pretty sweet as well 14.99 a month unlimited. they mail them to you like Netflix (but BB is 3 dollars a month cheaper) and they give you 2 in store free rentals. My collection is growing by leaps and bounds. That and the library has been berry berry good to me

    I'm dissapointed with it. When I was in the free trial, I hardly had any movie in my queue that was a short wait or long wait, now that my free trial has ended, 80% of the movies still in my queue are "short wait". Some people have suggested that it's blockbusters' way of limiting how many movies you get per month -

    I'm not the only person this has happened to. My brother-in-law has noticed the same thing in the same situation.

    we did the monthly pass when it first came out and it was great. Now that everyone is doing the same there are never any movies in stock. We went 4 straight weeks without being able to see one new release. I just cancelled that crap.

    I've felt the same pains as many of you with BB. The only real reason I keep it is I'm getting a lot of really old movies, many of which are foreign and my local BB doesn't have anyway. I've have about 25 movies in my quene right now. Only 4 of them are available.

    They need to set up a think with the movie companies to let them burn however many copies so they never run out and the movie people just get a percentage.

    I have netflix and I'm getting kind of pissed. Every good movie has either a long wait or very long wait so I have been watching crap for about a month now.

    Still can't find The Incredibles at BB. Is this one good enough to purchase as that may be the only way I get to watch.

    Switch to BBonline.com You may be pissed every now and then but at least it will save you three bucks a month. That and if you live in the Charlotte area you'll get movies faster as BB ships from Charlotte. I am getting 6 movies a week counting turnaround
