Plus I get coupons for buy-one DVD/get-one free, 50% off DVD purchases, game rentals, and the like from the store.
I pay $15.99 a month (although I know it is now $17.99). Netflix charges $17.99 for 3-at-time rentals (according to their website), and you get no coupons for rentals or purchases.
As for selection, don't know who has more, but there's never been a movie I wanted to rent that Blockbuster Online didn't have.

Same price, but Blockbuster allows for in-store rentals. To me going to a store defeats the purpose of ordering online.
Really what it comes down to is that you are paying for the convenience of DVDs mailed to you and a large selection. Netflix has a larger selection and it's why Blockbuster has been bleeding lately (aside from expensive retail store costs). If I wasn't looking for a large selection, I would just go to McDonalds. They have 99 cent movies. That to me is a great deal.
