And how many of those are new releases? Try putting Revenge of the Sith
in your queue and see how "quickly" you get it. And you're still not
addressing the rampant problems with throttling, cracked discs, repeated
price changes, wrong discs being mailed.
Stop making Netflix out to be this "godsend of video rentals." Beyond
the huge selection of titles, there's nothing really special about it
IMO. Like Blockbuster, they're just a big corporation out to take
advantage of the consumer. I'll give Hastings credit though; he works
"the little underdog" gimmick to perfection. "Please come help our
little company take down the evil giant that is Blockbuster." Blah,
blah.. I wonder how many mom & pop shops Netflix has put under since
it's inception... Infact Netflix took away the only real advantage mom &
pop shops had against big corporate giants like Blockbuster and
Hollywood. That being a good selection of rare and hard to find
titles(foreign, arthouse indie stuff).

Pff. I bought Land of the Dead at Best Buy the day it was released and
here you are still waiting for it over 2 weeks later? I could have
gotten it at Blockbuster faster than that.
