I have to second the Blockbuster. I have been doing the 3 at a time for a few years now and wouldnt change it. I love that I can take a movie back to the store and get a new one instead of mailing it in. Although even if I mail it - I get new ones within 2 days - so win/win either way.
Having the option to get a free movie reantal from the store makes it a better value for me.
I like Blockbuster too. When I return my mailer to the store it automatically frees up the movie, so they mail me the next one on my list that day. It only takes a day for me to receive my next DVD. I don't request exercise videos so I don't know what they have. I'm on the $9.99/month plan, so I get one movie at a time. The prices for both Netflix and Blockbuster are the same. I think Blockbuster is offering a free 2 week trial if you want to check it out.
I love Neflix!! I am currently living alone (DH is working in Russia) and I like the 4 at a time plan....that way if you watch 2 or 3 movies over a weekend, you still have a movie to watch during the week until your next set come....I think it all depends on how fast you guys watch movies. If you tend to watch 2 or 3 in a row...then get the largest plan. That way you also always have another movie on the way. I have over a hundred movies in my queue...and that is just works for me.
Good Luck!

If you live near a blockbuster store, it is the better choice. I do the $10 plan, one at a time. I started out with 3 at a time, drop back to 2, than to 1. It is very easy to change your plan, depending on your usage.
Blockbuster - 3 at a time! I love being able to trade them in at a moments notice at the video store. They have super fast for shipping for me. I think they ship from Phila PA and I'm in NJ. When I trade one in they kick another out of my queue immediatly!

DH and I have Blockbuster (2 at a time) and that's the perfect amount for us. When we are free we'll sometimes watch two movies in a weekend, but if not they just wait for us. And we love the convenience of being able to go to a Blockbuster store and get what we want without having to wait. I find that the store usually has a good selection, but it probably depends more on where you live than anything else. For example, by a university? Good luck, lol
Also, Blockbuster *used* to not have a great fitness DVD selection, but it has recently expanded. They now carry Amy Bento, Jari Love, Billy Blanks, Karen Voigt, CIA, etc, etc. I don't know what Netflix has currently, but when we had Netflix (about 2 years ago), their selection was not as good as Blockbuster's present one. Maybe someone who has Netflix could let you know.
