I have seen disk that were released last year and even though you can put them in your queue they never get them.
Overall they are getting very poor at stocking most things.

1 disc is $9.99 for both companies (but without BD, Netflix is $2 cheaper at $7.99)
2 discs is $14.99 for both companies (but without BD, Netflix is $3 cheaper at $11.99)
3 discs is $19.99 for both companies (but without BD, Netflix is $4 cheaper at $15.99)

So while Blockbuster isn't outright lying (because yes, Netflix does have a BD surcharge), they are being misleading and implying Netflix costs more for BD.
