I opted to go with Blockbuster.. The free rental coupons were the deciding factor, and by my math, a free rental a week for four weeks comes out to just under $20, and that is just about breaking even before accounting for the "meat" of the deal, which is the delivered movies.

I used this week's coupon on The Wedding Crashers, and have que'd a few movies that will ideally be sent out early this week.

This seems like a really nice, and worthwhile deal to me. I would never rent 3 movies a week for $12-15 a bunch, but with this online and coupon method, I expect to take full advantage and also broaden my exposure to movies in general.

Believe it or not, I did have a few more questions..

If I have 3 open que spots, will Blockbuster send them all out at once, or do they generally only send one movie per day?

Also, in a given week, what has been your experience with receiving new movies? Providing you ship three movies back on Monday, is it realistic to expect to have 3 more by the weekend? Or is that pushing it?
