Default dvd rentals by post - recomendations?

i've been looking at getting dvd rentals by post from someone like lovefilm.com

has anyone used them or any others and have any recommendations please?

even their cheapest deal of 1 film at a time with a maximum of 2 films per month for £5.99 per month looks expensive. i doubt that i would have time to watch more than 1 a month anyway

we use loveflim

its ok - massive choice but you have to accept DVDs arrive broken or unplayable on occasion and it can spoil an evening if your relieving on it!

i use lovefilm aswell, only had a handful of bad dvd's in 18mths on the 3 at a time deal, great if you want sport or old films aswell. i got the complete tt review back catalogue off it
if you look most of the other companies are 'powered' by lovefilm anyway

i also got a similar offer of the box of a pizza. free month + bottle of wine or something

dunno if i'm gonna do it - we rarely watch a dvd anyway, so might be cheaper to just go to a shop on the odd occassion that we feel like it.

thanks anyway.

I use tesco dvd rental, they have just switched to lovefilm so all the dvd's come from them but for £7.97 p/m

http://www.tescodvdrental.com/visitor/home.html

Usually its a 14 day free trial but with this code: TSZZ9876 you should get it free for 3 months, if not il find you another code, Enjoy

Very interesting, so once you register with tesco, do you still use the lovefilm website then (which i like)
If you do then i'm gonna change

I got one of those vouchers for 3 months free trial last year and watched everything I wanted to in about 2 months....

If I was paying for it I'd have been gutted!

Spend the money on a sky movies upgrade instead

No, you use tesco website to choose your selection, but the movies come from lovefilm in tesco wrapping.

Not tescos, im with them and have tried to cancel 5 times but every month another £12 goes out the account!! All the helpdesk is in India and they are crap.

Im back with Blockbuster now, very fast postage and if a film goes missing they dont charge you £20 with lovefilm/ testcos do
