Hardly any waits on Blu-ray discs here. I get most of my BD's the day after they ship and I often get them the day of release if I queue them up early. But then again I'm in a smaller market and I don't rent tons of new releases (which apparently increases your chance of getting "Long Wait" statuses).
But it is still pathetic that Netflix is going to charge blu-ray renters a premium and then try to blame their inability to fulfill orders on Hollywood not supplying them with enough discs or how expensive BD's are. People don't want to hear excuses when you charge them extra for a service.
I'm in Los Angeles, which is about as movie-crazy as a place can be, and I get everything I want without delay. Then again, I didn't rent Dark Knight. But I did get Wanted day after it came out from Netflix.
One thing though: I don't try to get three shipments a week. The slow turnaround is a my end. Maybe they like me better for that.
“While it's not exactly punching it out with the heavyweights in multi-room audio, the Mint Studio does certainly hold its own with many similarly-priced iPod docks out there.”
