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 Panasonic DVD-S54

Benigni's masterpiece

Advantages: Funny, warm and intelligent
Disadvantages: Er... the Holocaust

...Over 15 years ago, Israeli playwright Joshua Sobol had a tremendous run at the National Theatre in London with his play Ghetto. The play told the story of a theatre group performing amid the madness of the Warsaw ghetto. In the play, one group objects to the existence of the troupe claiming that any levity in the context of the surrounding atrocities was dishonourable and in poor taste. The counter argument is that the refusal to perform, the denial of art, humour, life represents victory for the anti-humanity of the Nazis. Robert Benigni?s wonderful movie covers much of the same ground and sparked many similar discussions upon its US release in 1998 (1999 in the UK). Benigni won an Academy Award for his performance as Guido. At the start of the film we see Giudo fall in love and woo his principessa, Dora, played by Nicoletta...

Roberto and that duvet questionnaire thing.

Advantages: Minimal information about nothing in particular
Disadvantages: Life goes on whatever

...The last one of these I read was by Torontogal and so I finally got round to doing one. Roberto is my Esperanto name incidentally, feel free to comment in Esperanto if you want to. 1. Whats on your duvet cover? A black and white cat at the moment, sleeping soundly. 2. What is in the glove compartment of your car? I'm a non driver but my wife's glove compartment is stacked full of innumerable , unidentifiable and unlocateable items that must not be disturbed. 3. What is the background to your computer screen? A white and ginger cat called Saru. 4. What was the last thing you sung? "It's a Long Way To Tipperary" publicly and spontaneously disgorged subliminal impressions privately, often involving the lyric "I woke up this morning?.." 5. When was the last time you did a cartwheel? About ten years ago, I think. 6. How...

Another night time smell

Advantages: nice smell
Disadvantages: hard to get

...**About Roberto Cavalli ** Up until i received this perfume i had never heard of this person but looking online he has done quite a lot.He has a clothing range for men ,children and women.He has created accessories,eyewear and perfume as well as other stuff. He also has cafes. **Bottle design and packaging ** I thought the box this came in had quite an unusual and pretty design. The front of the box is a beige colour with a spiral love heart shape in the middle. The bottle is an see through oval shape with a gold dispenser,The lid has this weird shape to it which i think is a bit pointless and i is also flimsy so i think it will probably break off quite easily. **Smell** My friend bought me this because the scent is based around the mango flower and she thought it might smell like mangos,a smell i love . I would overall describe this...

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...

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...
