Why Blockbuster is gaining on Netflix
The retail giant's online DVD service offers one great advantage over Netflix: Instant returns at the store. Trouble is, Netflix won't let you leave.
By Farhad Manjoo [2007-08-29]

  • titles not stocked by blockbuster

    Mr. Manjoo states, "I couldn't find a single DVD that was not in both catalogs". In about one minute I confirmed that Netflix stocks The Brown Bunny and Shortbus (both NC-17), while Blockbuster apparently refuses to carry these titles. Although I don't have a strong desire to see these particular titles, I prefer to make the decision myself. I'm sticking with Netflix.
