Both online movie rental services, Netflix and Blockbuster, offer free trials at this time to allow new subscribers the opportunity to test their service. Both services are quite similar but also have some differences that you should consider.

Netflix customers have the largest DVD rental library available and with economical pricing, streaming options and controls that help you manage your usage they are vastly outdoing competitors. So much so, that Bloomberg reports Netflix is rapidly becoming synonymous with DVD and online rental of any kind and many consumers are unaware that competition even exists.

While numbers are dwindling for Blockbuster loyalists one of the major differences between the two has always been the ability for Blockbuster customers to drop off their mailed videos in person should the desire arise.

Many loyal Netflix customers not off the techie generation do not understand how the amply supplied NetFlix feature StarzPlay works. StarzPlay essentially allows consumers to download or stream videos to their PC or Mac in an instant.

Netflix hasn’t ignored the billions of customers using their internet connection for more than just email. In fact, streamed movies and videos are becoming more popular than ever and around 42% of Netflix customer base is already hooked onto online video on demand.

Every Netflix customer should have received his or her latest survey from the box office knock off conglomerate asking which gaming platform is the most popular. The choices were PlayStation 3, XBOX and Wii and included in the survey were relevant points about how much TV connectivity users employ. Looks like Wii users may finally get their streaming capability in 720 or 7080p. The connection would require a disc installation. This option is already available in the UK and Japan through other service providers and Netflix would be the optimum United States provider to carry out this huge, customer pleasing joint venture.

Netflix offers a way to rent movies from the comfort of your home. You can choose the movies you want from your home computer and they are usually delivered in one business day.

In a rare subscription promotion, Netflix Inc is giving away 2 free Newman’s Own frozen pizzas to new rental dvd subscribers at Safeway’s, Albertson’s and Shaw’s stores. Safeway is popular on the west coast while Shaw operates on the east coast. Albertsons is the third retailer to take part in the frozen pizza give away by Netflix this year. It is not often that product give-a-ways are a part of Netflix marketing, so this campaign is unique for the video rental company.

With Netflix you have the ability to rent unlimited DVDs over any period of time. Receive in the mail, three DVDs at a time and return each when you are done watching.
