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...

Keen to exploit

Advantages: you might earn some money
Disadvantages: Keen will take away a large part of your earnings

...In principle, Keen sounds like a good idea. It is a marketplace in which people, known as Keen-speakers can provide advice or information for a fee. The main line of communication pushed by the site is the telephone. Keen-speakers indicate when they are available to take calls, either by setting up a regular schedule on the site, or by logging in and manually setting themselves as ready to take calls. In their profiles, as well as describing the sort of information they can provide, they set a per minute fee for the telephone calls. As a teaser, they can choose to offer new users their first three minutes free of charge. Keen-speakers can also set up recorded messages about their subjects, to which users can listen for a fee. The site also has a messaging system. A Keen-speaker can send a message with a fee attached, which is...

Very keen on Keen

Advantages: useful, expert advice on a range of topics, good layout
Disadvantages: none that I can think of

...Keen.co.uk is a relatively new website, around since about the start of the year, and one that has received a lot of positive feedback from other Dooyoo members. I’ve had a good rummage around, and would like to give my own opinion on the site. What’s it about? Keen offer ‘live, immediate advice for your everyday life’. They have a range of topic areas, each with their own group of Keen experts specialising in that particular subject. Visitors to the site can click on a particular expert’s listing, and be connected in confidence for a live phone conversation. How does it work? Keen’s homepage has a number of different categories (autos, DIY, health, psychics, pets, social), which you can click on to search the particular topic area of interest to you. A list of experts for that subject...

Help and Advice from Keen

Advantages: Great way of earning from your skills & getting help
Disadvantages: Only guide as to content is ratings

...I joined Keen because I am an experienced tarot reader and was doing online and telephone readings anyway, free of charge mostly, so figured if I was doing them anyway, I may as well get paid for it! I do the readings because I enjoy helping others, I feel it is a gift I have rather than something to exploit and Keen give all new members a minimum of £5 towards a free reading (as I still get paid while they use it I try and keep readings short where possible) I think its a great way to be able to help people, and you set the charging rate. Its not just for the metaphysical stuff either, as an ex-marketing director, I also offer marketing and sales advice to small businesses, if you have an area of skill I would highly recommended signing up, as you choose your working hours. My only worry with Keen is that charlatans may 'drag...

Get Paid to Give Advice

Advantages: High earning potential if you are giving advice, Useful information can be obtained if you are seeking advice
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...Have you ever given advice to a friend or even a stranger, in their moment of need, and really felt good about helping them in some way or the other. Well at Keen you can do just that and get paid for it. People from all walks to life come to Keen to get advice or get answers to questions and you could be the one to provide that advice or to answer that question. You would have to look at Keen in two different perspectives. One perspective is that of the one seeking advice and the other is the one giving advice. I would therefore like to touch on both these areas. Seeking Advice ------------------- First you need to register with them. You will be required to fill in your name, address, telephone number and credit card details. You will then set up a Keen account and deposit an amount into this account with your credit...

Nancy Drew, super sleuth

Advantages: Fun, nostalgic
Disadvantages: Nancy is too perfect, old-fashioned language

...Nancy Drew, along with her best friends George and Bess, are on holiday...but Nancy's reputation precedes her and she is soon embroiled in a new mystery. An old lady's Great Uncle hid a clue to a huge fortune in an old stagecoach, and now the local town is in dire need of money to improve the school system. Nancy and friends are soon on the hunt for the apparently buried stagecoach, but there are people who seem to want to stop them. Who will manage to get to the clue in the stagecoach first? And who are these enemies that are so keen to beat Nancy to it? Nancy Drew was very much part of my childhood and I still enjoy the odd read - it is usually mindless and fairly innocent. And looking at it superficially, Nancy is a reasonable role model for young girls of any generation - she is beautiful, smart, responsible and fair and everyone...

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...
