| WEll see this is what i don't like about switchdiscs. People are setting prices for their movies as if they were brand new and sealed. I'm not paying 30 bucs($30) for a used movie i can get at blockbuster for $9.99 | ||

 Other than that I have no problem with the split that usually occurs when I feed a personal 3 peerbux new release into Peerflix. That 3 bux earned usually gets me 2-3 titles(Peerflix titles with 1 or 2 bux value) that I may very well enjoy more than that 3 bux new release that I just sent off. Time is always on my side...yesterdays' "hot new releases" seem readily available at Peerflix for 1-2 peerbux, versus their unavailability at Switchdiscs. Brokeback Mountain -switchdiscs.com - (full screen only) @ 30 switchbucs -overstock.com - (wide screen) @ $16.79 -peerflix.com - (wide screen) @ 3 peerbux, medium wait Nothing personally against Switchdiscs.com, but if Peerflix was to fold...I'd do my DVD switchin' on eBay.

| OMG! If you trade a new title on switchdiscs for 30 switchbucs you will be able to find 3 other titles that you can get using those 30 switchbucs. You're not paying $30 for Brokeback Mountain you're paying 30 SWITCHBUCS! 30 switchbucs that you got for trading discs of like value. I guess if you can't get this SIMPLE concept then please stay with peerflix. Ignorance is bliss at peerflix! My SwitchDiscs.com Stats: 54 - Sent - ALL received in perfect condition (crazy what a good mailer will do) :wink: 65 - Received 2 - Broken due to sender using a "peermailer" like mailing method (they won't last long at SwitchDiscs which is a good thing) 6 - BRAND NEW still in original case and sealed | ||

| Look, Joe, most of us have seen you cheerleading for SwitchDiscs ever since you arrived. I'm glad you like it. It's just not a model most of us like. So far, I've seen very few discs trading at 10 Peerbux, like you state. I understand the economic scale you're discussing, but it's essentially nothing more than inflation based on the SRP. So far, everybody wants top dollar for their discs at SD, no matter what they are.

| If I had something bad to say about SwitchDiscs I would but the great thing is I don't. Everything that people hate about peerflix switchdiscs does well. Communication with the owner of the site is open both ways and is a daily occurrence. Problems are fixed and issues are discussed. There is no crappy peermailer and members send discs using quality mailing supplies. The only problem with switchdiscs right now is not enough members and discs. But they are still very new and this is a problem that will be fixed with time as more and more people join the site. Also, this is a SwitchDiscs Forum so if you don't want to hear the good things about SwitchDiscs don't read this Forum. :wink: | ||

| If you've used SwitchDiscs and have something bad to say about it go right ahead. But if you haven't even given it a try your comments are worthless here. I don't use peerflix anymore so you won't see me saying anything about them. | ||

| FYI - I'm a registered member at Switchdiscs.com, albeit my actvity there seems thwarted by inflated DVD values and title unavailability. Quote:
