Strider Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'm thinking of starting to rent games and DVD's from the interwebs as opposed to buying them. The problem is, i don't really know who offers the best service/price, this is where YOU come in. Do any of you have subscriptions with these services that could rate them? I was looking at lovefilm (mainly as there is a 90 day free trail about), would the free trail be easy to cancel? I don't really want to sign up then be left unable to cancel it. Help muchly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokhed00 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Lovefilms 90 day trial is easy to cancel, and I would highly recommend it, I've used it numerous times and had loads of free rentals from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Unless you want Blu-rays just rent movies off iTunes. Although, that may be a slight problem if you want to watch them on a TV and don't have your computer hooked up to it. If you can use it though, it really is a great service for rentals and they don't charge any more than a video rental store. Plus you don't have to return them afterwards.

Just a quick question, when they send the DVD's whats the packaging like? Just a DVD sleeve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddage Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Whilst this is topic is here... Have any of you guys had trouble being sent games from Lovefilm recently? My rental list at the moment is mainly made up of games released around November last year (Fallout 3, Fable 2, Mirror's Edge, etc), however I was waiting over a week for my next rental to be sent out (usually 1-2 days max) and it was only when I added Viva Pinata: TIP to the list that one was sent out (which was VP). Is this just because the games are fairly recent releases? Although saying that don't say there'll be a wait on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Just my quick $0.02 on online rentals: I did a trial of Wilkinson, Love Film and Blockbuster recently, Wilkinson was the most of a pain to cancel but I got out of them all without paying a penny. It was also the worst for range of choice and getting what's at the top of the list so I'd avoid them. Out of Love Film and Blockbuster I think I found more titles on Love Film but Blockbuster shipped them faster and gave higher priority titles more often.

Ten10 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Good, similar to tescos then That's because Tesco's rental service is powered by Lovefilm. I.e. LF do all the work.

Its purely down to whether they have them about, popular games are very hard to get same with films. Sometimes I haven't managed to receive certain films on my list until they started showing on sky movies, which is pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 You know when you sign up to the 90 day trial, does it use the plan you choose? Like if i chose the £6 plan, would i only be allowed 3 dvds a month in the trial period? Or should i just go for the highest one, cancel then start again on the lower plan?

Ten10 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Go for the highest tier and then lower it coming up to the end of the trial if you wish to continue or cancel. Check your account to see when they will begin charging you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten10 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 If your willing to try it, you can cancel your account and try this code: M9F8ETFH8 or XDMHCNEXQ Which can apparently be used by previous customers. You just select the option "I've been a customer before" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Or you can just cancel, sign up with a different email address and use the same code again. That's what I did, didn't matter that the card details were the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, can you use the trial for games aswell? when I signed up last time, I think it said games weren't included, but maybe that was just the option I chose?!

Ten10 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Most likely the option because they have packages that don't include game rentals. This is the package you want: 3 discs at a time Unlimited DVDs & Games And if you decide to continue you might decide to switch down to: 2 discs at a time Unlimited DVDs & Games Which works out at £15ish a month which is still cheaper than 3 rentals from blocks.
