By having brick and mortar stores in many cities, this gives Blockbuster a slight advantage over Netflix. If you are in a rush to see a new movie, simply return your online DVD rental to the store and get a new movie on the spot.

Like Blockbuster, movies rented online via Netflix arrive in an envelope with the DVD and a pre-paid return envelope. Other than the monthly fee, there are no additional costs incurred while using the Netflix DVD service.
