Anybody use Blockbuster online rental service?

Just curious if anyone's used Blockbuster's online rental service recently. I recently used Netflix for a free month as part of the lawsuit settlement, and it was an improved experience over what I went through years ago as an early Netflix member when they started up.

I hadn't renewed my Netflix membership, but was planning to when the TV season slows down after Thanksgiving, when I ran across a code for a free trial month at Blockbuster. I think their normal trial period is 2 weeks.

Has anyone used them recently, like in the past year? Has the experience improved? I've read horror stories with Blockbuster when they first started their online rental service. But Netflix had its issues back then also, and it seemed to improve greatly. Has Blockbuster improved, now that it's had several years to work out any issues?

Just in case anyone else wants to try it, the code for the free month is: freeholiday

Thanks in advance for any experiences you can share.
