LIR: You also gotta watch out for the "Blockbuster Exclusive" editions of DVDs, something which I stay away from on principle.

I think they are edited just for blockbuster to take out some sex and violence. I have seen no sign that their online service does this crap, though. (the discs I get from them do not say that).

Something else about BB you already knew is that you will be unable to get some smaller films/sexier/more violent films. I'm thinking of signing up for a baby Netflix service to get stuff like Lust, Caution.

I was under the impression that the BB-Exclusive stuff just meant you could only rent it through them. - kelly Feb 10, 11:46 1
- You know what? You're probably right about that. I remember seeing an article about this on Consumerist or something... - con_carne Feb 10, 11:49
