Advantages: No hassle, quick service and of course FREE TRIAL!
Disadvantages: Not found any yet!

Now I am a person who constantly looks out for free trials and offers but I am always aware that a lot of offers are not what they seem. My friend recently had a free trial with a film rental website called lovefilm.com, although they were not called that at the time, they have recently changed their name and are now advertising on T.V. Her experience was less than fruitful to say the least! She was offered a free trial of 6 DVD's to rent but only ...
...she could not cancel her subscription and in effect they took several charges out of her account amounting to the cost of around £70! She eventually had to close her bank account and re-open it in order to stop being charged further! ~~~~~~HOW I CAME ABOUT THIS OFFER~~~~~~~~~~~ I came about this offer at blockbuster from a website I use called freestuff.com. I subscribed to them about 12 months ago and you receive a regular newsletter from them ... Read review

Disadvantages: no disadvantages over shop as long as you use your "list" effectively

...fact two services provided by Blockbuster.co.uk under their rent by post schemes. These are the unlimited rental, for a monthly cost of £13.99 and the pay per rental, which costs £3.50 per rental for a period of five days. I went for the former, although the latter does have advantages if you can be organised about posting back, and do not want the hassle of visiting the actual store all the time. When I joined there was a one month free trial offer. ...
...and I thought the one month free offer had been available for a while. Tonight the site's special offer shows a two week free trial.... It is important not to be confused with the logos on the free trial. The unlimited DVD service, means as many as you can watch and return with a one month period, however you will only be able to borrow a maximum of three DVD’s at one time. One of my colleagues mistakenly believed this to be a 3 month free trial, ... Read review

...ON.......... ABOUT "BLOCKBUSTER.CO.UK"... Blockbuster.co.uk is the online spin-off, of the 700 UK Blockbuster dvd-rental stores that are scattered across the UK. Its also part of the American "Blockbuster" company (online at "Blockbuster.com"). This company has been running for as many years as I"ve watched hot TV-dinner movies-and its a familiar, trusted name to most of the film-loving public.

Advantages: Good free trial offer, unlimited, 3 at a time, good website
Disadvantages: Dont give you what you want, no common sense

I saw on a website called Kelkoo, the other week, other websites that offered DVD rental. I was already aware of their existence but never really thought to try them out. Plus it would have meant messing round with my mum’s credit card and everything. However, due to my trusty student account and my newly acquired credit card, I decided to look into it a bit more. One of the first ones I came across was Blockbuster. I had actually seen adverts on ...
...free trial, so I though, well I may as well give it a go and see what they are like and investigate the ease of online DVD rental. One last thing before I go onto Blockbuster, is that nearly all the DVD rental sites offer free trials ranging from 2 weeks to a month. Nevertheless, Blockbuster seemed easy. The initial registration process for Blockbuster was in fact quite easy. Of course, firstly, you must access their website, which is www.blockbuster.co.uk. ... Read review
