David Kelly 1280 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Wor lass is wanting to knock Sky Movies on the head because it shows the same shite day after day (mind you I never seem to tire of watching Dodgeball!) so I'm considering diverting the cash (well not really as she pays for Sky and I will be paying for this but never mind) into joining one of those DVD rental by post things. I know Gem at least does this and I think there are quite a few others so the question is, which one is the best to go for (on price and choice and anthing else that might be relevant). I think I've asked this ages ago in another thread but I can't remember what was suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 The amazon one is good. They were doing a months free trial. It works out about £2 a dvd (inc. postage both ways). There's a few different options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1280 Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'm not sure whether I should go for an unlimited package or one where your allowed a couple per month for less. There's a few doing free trials so I'll wait until I've exhausted all of them before atcually paying for owt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 47104 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I used Screenselect which got bought out by LoveFilm. Supposed to be the biggest one in Europe, so in theory it should have the biggest selection/most copies etc, but whether that's true or not I don't know. They're currently doing a 2 week free trial (which isn't worth much because you'll only see a few films in that period anyway. 1 disc out at once for £9.99 per month, 2 discs for £12.99 and 3 discs for £15.99.

Gemmill 47104 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 No, sorry, it just means that I now use LoveFilm. Got no complaints at all. It's unlimited although my main problem is remembering to put them back in the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1280 Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 Aye I had that problem when I did the blockbuster free trial and they charged me for the full membership. Complained and they refunded me ok like. I've got a voucher for a free 21 day trial of the lovefilm one and I've tried searching for a few things that I fancy and they seem to have them so I might give it a go. I'll have to get the DVD recorder fixed before I do it like or I'll never end up being able to watch them. Do you know if the disc copy alright if I was to be interested in any such illegal activity?

Scottish Mag 3 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 It works, as I have just reactivated my account which I cancelled on Jan 1st. I have now just had 3 months for the price of 1 twice in succession and now this offer. £30 for 9 months of rentals.. Gemmill, I would consider cancelling your subscription and then rejoining with this code, would save you pennies for a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1280 Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 When you add a load of dvd's to your list on there how long does it take from them to send them out? I've added a load but nothing seems to be happening. Is there something else I need to do to get them moving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
