Streaming picks up from where you left off too. But there aren't enough top tier titles to go streaming alone if you want to get the latest releases.

I would say the only benefit for going with Blockbuster is if you have Dish Network.

Blockbuster is amazing IF you have a store near you. the in store exchange is badass... I know, I used to have it.. plus you could get games..

however... since I don't have a store near me, and they are slow to get here.. I went back to netflix

True, a lot of BB stores are closed or closing making the in store exchange difficult. Netflix announced game rentals, but it was going to be under the new name so no one is sure yet if that will happen.

My favorite YTD chart is NFLX.
