Local Blockbuster Store closed...what's the best way to get new releases quickly?

I have been doing the Blockbuster 3 disc mailed at a time, that you can then take into a store and exchange for new releases. Now my local store (1 mile from my home) is closing, and I won't be able to do the in store exchanges anymore.
It takes a VERY long time for Blockbuster to mail new releases since they seem to always be checked out.

Anyone else have a solution to getting new releases pretty close to their release date?

 

Redbox has some of the releases immediately, some are 28 days. I usually just wait, if it was a movie I really wanted to see I went to the theater.

 

+1 for Redbox, you also may have a Blockbuster Express in your area. They charge more for new releases, IIRC, $3 for a new release. They tend to have less in stock while Redbox has more.

 

Amazon

 

Ah yes! I forgot about them! If you have Prime it makes it even better. I used to get lots of codes from them, but haven't lately.

 

Redbox, Netflix, PirateBay..

 

I just down loaded Crackle, its a free service with a catalog about the same as Netflix with a few exceptions like specialty shows & series. You have to put up the a few commercial interruptions but at least their Godzilla film section is way better than Nexflix's.

 

Thanks for the suggestions. Crackly looks like an interesting site....especially since its free, too bad no NEW releases.

 

Xbmc & navi-x. Done.

 

Add Usenet to the pile.
