Personally I think this is crap, and it wouldn’t have been perpetrated on Netflix’s customers if anyone had actually stepped up to compete against them by now.  Blockbuster, are you listening?

I’m not a big fan of the Blockbuster by mail service – there are too many blatant examples of its also-ran status status to mention here – but as a by mail customer I can see myself adding Blockbuster’s service to make sure I get first run rentals.

Does anyone out there care about this besides me?
