movies to watch or DVDs for rent. Eventually, Netflix gain instant popularity and introduced
DVD-by-mail services, as well as downloading or streaming features. With the tight competition
between the two subscription services, you might wonder which among these companies offer better
deals.

Blockbuster also offers the same rates for the base package at $8.99 a month. You may also choose
your preferred subscription plan depending on the number of DVD rentals you want.
Blockbuster, though, has a few additional services that Netflix does not
offer. These extra features include the following:

episodes

consider subscribing to Blockbuster's packages because you can save time on the DVD-by-mail
rentals. The company allows you to exchange movies in store, which Netflix currently does not
offer.
