Advantages Cheap, good choice of packages, efficient, good and stable online streaming
Disadvantages DVDs occasionally damaged, sneakily trying to get you to upgrade, box set discs only 1 at a time

Love films? Hate piracy? Arrrr me hearties, shiver me timbers. Then naturally, as upstanding citizens, we should all go to the cinema to satisfy our movie needs instead of watching illicitly pirated copies of the latest films. Oh yeah, apart from that small fact that it now costs a bomb, probably on average about £10, to have that pleasure of sitting in an uncomfortable seat getting a numb bum watching all the action unfurl on a big screen, not to mention the extortionate prices for refreshments or often being forced to pay extra to watch it all in 3D which just makes you feel slightly ill ... more

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Competitively priced, huge range of discs, rapid support
Disadvantages Damaged discs, lost discs, dodgy postal service

An unforeseen casualty of the Internet, the traditional DVD/video rental shop has all but disappeared off the face of the UK high street, save for the mighty presence of Blockbuster video. I don't think we ever really used to see video or DVD rental as a particularly expensive thing until the likes of Love Film came along and made us all realise just how much money we were paying for the occasional film rental. Membership of LoveFilm Love Film is probably the market leader for online DVD rental in the UK. Heavily marketed, there are always offers on introductory memberships, and if you don't ... more

Love film? Well you might also love this subscription service. 21/06/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages large catalogue of films and games, picked online, delivered to your door.
Disadvantages some scratched discs, takes ages to get new releases.

Lovefilm is a subscription service which most people nowadays seem to have an awareness of. We personally took out a subscription in January 2005. We had done some christmas shopping at Boots.com, and inside the parcel was a flyer advertising the service. If we went in and subscribed using a code on the flyer we could have boots points and then further points for every month we paid for. It seemed a no brainer to us that we should at least try this service as it would not cost us anything for at least a month, and then if we liked it the costs were not that extortionate to carry on using the ... more

Advantages Huge selections of films
Disadvantages I'll come back to you on that (in other word, none !)

There have been a growth in DVD hire websites over the past few years providing a different service to what we all used to for many years before that - the traditional but unconventional video stores. With video stores, we hired perhaps a couple of films for £2-3 each for a stated period of time, usually a night or two. How many times we all have done this, we panicked, realising that we have forgotten to take the videos/dvd back to the store and rushing at night time to post them, phew - won't have to pay late fee. Once or twice, I even sent some back after not having time to watch it for ... more
