I have to admit that I love Netflix, and have for several years.

This weekend, we decided to switch from Netflix to Blockbuster's online service.  Not because we're unhappy with Netflix's service - quite the opposite.  They have the uncanny ability to cause me to not worry about renting movies, and a selection that's better than anything we could find in town.

So, why did we switch?

It all started with an offer Blockbuster had: bring in your Netflix address label, and get a free rental.

Seemed innocent enough - try to woo Netflix subscribers by offering them free rentals, and hope they'd check out Blockbuster's service.  So, I did.

For the same monthly fee, I get the same one-at-a-time rental, and I can take the movie to the store to return and get a free rental when I do.

What's the downside?
