FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Review of Yamaha DVD-S 557

Underrated

Advantages: One of a kind
Disadvantages: Too short

...Chris Clark's first album. 2001 was a great year for experimental music. Aphex Twin released his amazing double-CD, Drukqs. Autechre released their Confield album. Susumu Yokota released his perfect Grinning Cat. Venetian Snares released 3 deranged and mind-bending works. The list goes on... Chris Clark released Clarence Park in May 2001 under the Warp Records label. Here, Chris Clark manages to pull off something that very few artists can. He uses out-dated equipment and an array of cheesy sounds in effort to convey a nostalgic feeling. What you obtain is a paradoxal and intelligent oeuvre; a brilliant use of cheesiness. Warp immediatly fell in love with Clarence Park; many other electronica lovers, at first, would regard this album as some kind of joke. These same people would also fall in love with Clarence Park, as...

Review of Clarence Park - Chris Clark

My eyes did not deceive me.

Advantages: Every episode on one DVD.
Disadvantages: ONly made one series.

...I have just got this DVD as part of the Ronnie Barker Ultimate Collection boxset, and what a lovely little series it was. Clarence was a 1988 BBC comedy starring Ronnie Barker and Josephine Tewson, written by Ronnie Barker under the pseudonym "Bob Ferris". It was Barker's final sitcom appearance before his first retirement. Set in 1937, on the day of King George VI's coronation, Clarence Sale, a myopic removal man is clearing the house of a snooty upper-class lady who is moving abroad. There, he meets Jane Travers, her maid. The pair are mutually attracted and soon Clarence proposes to her. Jane decides that they should have a trial period of living together in a small cottage she has been been left in a will from an Aunt to see if they are compatible. This leads to many attemps on Clarence's part to 'move the relationship to...

FREE DVDS

Advantages: up to date dvds, four weeks free hire with 3 dvds at a time,
Disadvantages: see review

...My recent quest for FREE DVD hire I visited and many DVD web sites that offered a free trial. Now call me tight (no that wasn?t an invite), but I like bargains and freebies and am not ashamed to say so. My quest took me to enough sites to hire DVDs for about four months so far (with plenty to come too). My latest free DVD site also happens to be the best I have tried for several reasons (see rest of op); the site in question is Blockbuster.co.uk. Other sites that I have had free rentals from and then cancelled have all been similar, two weeks free trial with two DVD?s per time ? which in effect gives you about four free DVD?s. With Blockbuster?s things are different slightly ? which add a great deal of benefit to us the customer. Firstly, you get FOUR whole weeks free rental, which equates to at double the length of time most...

Advantages: Has play area for children
Disadvantages: Gets very busy

...Knowing the brewers Fayre chain quite well ,after having the pleasure of eating there a few times (some good some bad) I needed to find somewhere to go on a wet and windy day in August!. We had to go to Portsmouth as I was meeting my sister inLaw and it needed to be half way between our houses. so we ended up at the Clarence pier Brewyers Fayre,in Southsea. BREWERS FAYRE. Are a chain of "pubs" where they believe in good British pub grub. They claim to be good value with meals starting at about £6. They also cater for all occasions,so if your just popping in for a bite,or planning a birthday meal,they can accomodate you. My view on Brewers Fayres is family dining at an affordable price. CLARENCE PIER,SOUTHSEA. Situated at the Clarence Pier end of the promenade in Southsea,behind the amusements and next door to a Premier...

Review of Brewers Fayre Clarence Pier

DVDs, DIVX, and looks fantastic.

Advantages: DVDs, DIVX, and looks fantastic.
Disadvantages: none

...Before I bought this DVD player Id never really owned a DVD player before. I had however had and still do have a ps2 on which I used to play my DVDs. I never really went and still don’t go on this so much so I was going to sell it and buy a DVD player. In the end I decided to just keep the ps2 and to get a cheaper DVD player than I was looking for in the first place. The main reason why I wanted a new DVD instead of the one in the ps2 was so I could play divx format DVDs on it. The DVD player in a ps2 doesn’t recognise this format and scene as I have several divx movies already on disk and on my laptop to put onto disk then I wanted a DVD player that would recognise and play this format. Another plus to this format is that it saves space on disks as it compresses movies into smaller file sizes without compromising...

Review of Play.com

DVDs for a fixed monthly fee...

Advantages: Simple, easy to use, quick delivery, good customer service
Disadvantages: May not have all the titles you are after

...I was using one of those sites that offer you points or a few cents for trying out free offers (don't recall which one exactly, may have been 'IPoints'...) and it had Lovefilm's FREE two week trial. I signed up free for the minimal membership which allows you to keep one DVD at a time for as long as you want (with no late fees!) and although I had to give my credit card information, the agreement states that you will not be charged anything if you cancel within the two week period.. The membership ranges from £9 to £15 per month now; I do not recall how much it cost mid last year to be honest.. The other memberships get you 2 and 3 DVDs at a go. I added the films I was interested in to some sort of 'wishlist'. The idea is that they send you one DVD, you keep it for as long as you want, then they send you the next one on your list...
