I haven't the smallest amount of respect for Blockbuster. Nor do I have the smallest inkling of wishing to deal with them again.

I had BB online a few years ago. I picked BB over Netflix because of the ability to return/exchange in-store. When thwy changed their terms and raised prices, I switched to Netflix. From my experience, Netflix wins hands-down. I can mail a film on Monday, Netlix has it Tues and I receive another movie on Wed. With BB, they wouldn't even show receipt until Wed and I would be lucky to see the next disk by Friday.

No thanks.

Besides, Netflix often offers a 1 month trial making Netflix the cheaper option.

Regardless of if Netflix is better, Blockbuster often offers 2 weeks for free and sometimes 4 weeks for free. I gave it a shot on a 4 week offer a last summer. They ended up messing up my account and gave me an extra few weeks for free.

I would argue that it is not a great deal to get 1/2 off when you can get the free trial for nothing.

@altonb1: I second everything you said and went through exactly the same experience. I would also add that Netflix lets you watch a ton of streaming movies anytime on your computer or through a set top box, XBOX360, PS3 and in the very near future the Wii.

The biggest difference in my opinion is 1)Netflix has streaming content and 2)Blockbuster now includes game rentals in their mail service. Which to choose comes down to which of those two is most important to you. Otherwise they're pretty comparable.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
