I've been using Blockbuster.com to rent 3 DVD's for over a year now. It
looks like they just rolled out a new web site.

It says beta.blockbuster.com, which is a bit strange since this is now the
default web site. It works well enough when using IE, but I like to use
Firefox. Unfortunately, with Firefox it has now become unusable.

My queue has 400+ movies in it, and when I load it in IE it takes about
10-15 seconds. When I try the same with Firefox, it takes more than 10
minutes. I killed the process rather than continue to wait. I have tested
this on my home computer, and on my PC at work - which has 2 GB.

The drag and drop feature is kind of neat, but I would never actually use
it...I always add movies to the end of the queue, and I don't see any way to
do that without clicking the Add button.

My verdict? I would rather use the old site.

I guess this post is part review, with a little complaining thrown in.
Caveat emptor.
