Advantages: HUGE selection of dvds Disadvantages: Repeats, repeats, repeats
I have never been a dedicated film goer but since hubby declared that I never sit down with him and just "chill" (with 3 children?!), I decided to give this a go. This would give us some quality time and the winter nights would fly in the frozen wastelands of the North!
So, being the kind of person easily seduced by free trials, I duly signed up. So far so good.

Advantages: Wide choice of DVD's, Good prices, Good introductory offer, Easy to use website Disadvantages: Not guaranteed your first choices of DVD (although you aren't anywhere)
...I was swayed to LoveFilm.com from Tesco DVD Rentals through the offer of two month's free trial in order to regain my custom (I had previously been a member of moviechoices.com dvd rental who have fairly recently been taken over by LoveFilm). Not one to turn something free away I dropped Tesco and signed up!

Advantages: no late fees, pay up front and get a better deal Disadvantages: can't prioritise titles
I have been a member of Lovefilm since 2005, when it was ScreenSelect and regularly cycle through 2 dvd rentals per week. When the Royal Mail used to collect post on a Sunday, I could sometimes get an extra DVD to watch.
The premise is simple, sign-up and add DVD titles to your list and depending on the package, your titles will be sent out same day or next day. You can wait while the titles are delivered free and you do not have to pay any late ...

Advantages: Good choice of movies, quick turnaround time Disadvantages: Don't seem to get your favourites very often
First of all I just want to clarify that I have only used the two weeks free trial so whether the service would decline when you sign up for full membership I couldn't say.

I signed up for LoveFilm a couple of weeks ago, there were loads of different DVD rental sites to choose from but this was the one I decided to go for.

Advantages: No mess, no fuss Disadvantages: None.......Yet
I recently came to use online DVD rental companies for a mystery shop assessment; the required target was Lovefilm and I could pick any other company as a secondary choice, the idea was to compare the services and see which I found the best. I should add that I’m not a bigger lover of online DVD rentals the fact that you have little or no control over what you were going to receive (within reason) annoys me, especially being as you cannot predict ...

Advantages: you don't have to walk to the shop to rent dvds Disadvantages: no contact, set debtors on me without cause, send wrong dvds, complete chaos
Okay before I start this won't be a long review of the features of this site as I simply do not rate them and I dont' wish to discuss them at length. Due mainly to the fact that they are useless when you receieve the service I received with lovefilm.
First things first, the trial. 2 weeks free - not a problem. I used my 2 weeks free and my dvds arrived very quickly. You choose a list of dvds and these form a qeue so that when you said films back ...

Advantages: Free delivery and returns Disadvantages: Poor customer service, dirty or unplayable disks, episodes delivered in wrong order
Due to illness I had been signed off work for a considerable time. I found out about screen select from a website and I was offered a free trial. They offer you a choice of how many disks you would like to have at your home at any time, either 1, 2 or 3. The charges are dependant on the amount of disks you choose.
I chose to have 3 disks at a time and started my free trial. The first lot of disks arrived and when I had watched them, they were ...

Advantages: No late fees, always a film to watch Disadvantages: Not the greatest search engine, so think latterally!
I signed up to LoveFilm.com several months ago for the free trial and am now into the paying membership phase (£9.99 per month). I receive one DVD at a time, which I can watch at my leisure and return hassle free via first class mail in the postage paid envelope.
The site has an enormous selection of DVDs on offer, from TV comedy series (like BlackAdder and the League of Gentlemen), sporting events (football stuff), and all the feature movies ...

Advantages: Rent movies without leaving the house Disadvantages: A little expensive if youre not going to take full advantage
This months Sainsburys magazine is offering a code for people to get 2 weeks free trial of lovefilm.com. A website that lets you register and rent movies online.
I wish Id though of this because it must be a really lucrative business, and its getting more and more popular as more people warmto the idea of using the internet for their everyday needs.
Before I go into detail, for anyone who wants to use the Sainsburys code for their trial, enter ...

Advantages: Wide DVD selection, prompt dispatch, free trial Disadvantages: may be a little more expensive than some
As an avid movie fan DVD rental online is a must. Also as a lazy student, it means I don't have to go out to get my move fix, and also, as I have a lot of free time on my hands, it's definitely value for money. If you relate to any one of the above, you should definitely check out LoveFilm.
- Free trial. When I joined up the free trial lasted four weeks. On average I got through 6 or so DVDs a week (you are allowed up to three DVDs out at a time ...

Advantages: Good Choice of Films Disadvantages: They Don't Like to Say Goodbye
Before I start I would like to say that these people will ignore cancellation requests and take your money unlawfully.

They know what to send you because you need to create a list of the DVD's you want ...

Advantages: ease of use, website well designed Disadvantages: slow turnaround after first few months, more expensive than competitors
There are so many reviews for Lovefilm already that I wont go into too much detail over the service they provide and how it works because I'm sure everyone is familiar with it by now. Basically, it is the lazy way to rent DVDs, by receiving them through the post and freeposting them back.
There is generally a free trial when you sign up, usually for two weeks. After the free trial the current prices per month are as follows:
£3.99 for 2 discs ...
