    Online DVD Rental, Tried it?

    Hmm always the sceptic, but Play.com, like many others I would presume is making me poor lol, their prices are just too good, but alot of the time my DVD's end up on ebay losing me a fortune (my ebay's full of em at the mo for example, only like to make me back like 20% of the original cos).

    Was looking on Tesco.com and they have started DVD rentals, any 3 DVDs at a time, as many as you want every month posted free all for the cost of 14.99 a month. Seems like a total bargoon if you ask me, and no catches, anyone ever used it? Cos if this is good then Sky Movies is getting cancelled and Im going back to proper 5.1 all the time!

    sounds real good to me.. but you may as well just get a ugc cinema pass - £9.99 a month, you get to see newer films, and they're on a bigger screen...

    I use www.screenselect.co.uk same price as the tesco one. DVD's usually arrive next day. The only problem is you can't really choose which dvd's you get when. You just build up a list of ones you want to watch and they send you dvd's off the list as they are available.

    If you enter the promo code FR21 you will get a free 21 day trial.

    www.choiceserental.co.uk is another one. They are slightly more expensive at £19.99 a month but do a 30 day free trial so you can see what they are like.

    I have tried both and whilst I have had a couple of DVD's that have been damaged from Screenselect and none from choices I may just have been unlucky.
