Starting thinking of dropping Netflix and going with DISH/Blockbuster, my main thought in changing is for the addition of video games. Can't do steaming, not interested in brick n mortar store returns. Been with Netflix for quite a few years with total satisfaction. Anyone else make the switch? I turn around time about the same? We live in southeastern Ohio and get movies fro Cleveland I believe. The 2 fer plan is $15 for DISH, and I forgot to ask if Blurays were an additional cost. Just curious.

Nope, I have Netflix and I have Dish. Blockbuster service is already available on my DVR, but I haven't decided to try it yet.

I tried to switch to blockbuster in the midst of this cluster**** that is netflix and was disappointed. Turn around times to me were very slow.

I have both. I dropped the discs on Netflix and got the discs from Dish/Blockbuster. Turnaround times here are the same as Netflix at 2 days.

The streaming selection on Blockbuster is not very big and the streaming interface on my VIP722 is absolutely terrible. They really need to overhaul that.

I still use Netflix on the Xbox for streaming.

I have Dish. I got 6 months free on the Blockbuster deal after threatening to leave.
I have thus far kept my Netflix account.

The trade offs:
BB has movies 28 days before Netflix.
BB 4 day turn-around vs 2 days with Netflix.

While I'd like to tell Netflix to KMA, I'm still on the fence.
