Netflix vs Blockbuster Online Comparison Netflix used to have a great feature where each account could have several profiles, and each will have individual DVD queues. This feature would allow each family members to build their own rating of their favorite genres. But since June 18th, 2008 Netflix has announced removing the profiles system, and merging all the existing profiles under the account names.

As most people probably agree, Netflix used to be one of the best online DVDs rental, but after the recent issues, I wonder what would people vote for now...
Here are some comparisons that I made.

Personally I picked Blockbuster Total Access since I still like having to browse a video store and grab the DVD I want to watch right away. I don't mind waiting for the new release since they always out for the first week in stores anyway.
