    I've signed up to Lovefilm after Parm's recommendation.

    I'll be testing it over the next three months for free to see if the service is good. So many films to see, so little time.

    Re: How great are DVD rental services?

    If anybody else is thinking about giving LoveFilm a trial, here's a 3 month trial code to get you started: 3MONTHEX

    Enter that when you sign up and it'll give you your first 3 months free and you can still cancel at anytime.

    Note: I don't work for LoveFilm. Honest I don't!

    LoveFilm get a thumbs up from me as well.
    They seem to have sorted out the turnaround delays from when they merged with screenselect, so i can't really fault them any more.

    I got 2 vouchers for 3 months free through the post yesterday, and no-one to give them to. If anyone's interested drop me a PM.

    [edit]

    Parm beat me too it, and with a re-usable code as well...

    Re: How great are DVD rental services?

    Don't watch enough movies to make it worth while, and when I do it's always a last minute decision so so Blockbuster will remain my service of choice....

    Roll on entirely downloadable movie content, streamed straight to my TV, any movie I could ever want to watch....I'd pay £30 a month at least for that service, and cancel all the sky movie channels....and most of the regular channels too for that matter....

    Re: How great are DVD rental services?

    I'm with tesco dvd rental (which is basically Lovefilm), they offered me 3 months for the price of 1- (3DVDs at a time, unlimited).

    So far they have been very good, fast, efficient and they always seem to have the latest movies.

    If you rent movies a lot, then its worth going for a dvd rental service, as it is much much cheaper then renting from your local dvd rent shop.

    It's great for TV series you've missed too. I managed to get through the whole of Prison Break Series 1 & 2 recently.

    I'm with Tesco. Great service. They now do HD-DVD and Blu-Ray, and for an extra £3 a month you can get games, too.

    I should probably be on the Tesco service now that you mention it, it'd mean more clubcard points!
