PrincessHolly Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Does anyone else do this? Is it good/bad/worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Mog Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Its good if you can be arsed sending the dvd's back but you soon get bored of it to be honest. Its more fun going tryin to choose one from the shop really. I've done the dvd by post thing but after a few months I stopped using it much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChameleonSimon Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Don't know about Blockbuster, but Amazon is certainly very good. Four DVD's a month for 7.99 or six for 9.99 + a further 10% discount off any DVD's you decide to buy. All the DVD's on the Amazon site are available for rental. Two big advantages; firstly, no late fees, so if you don't get round to watching your movies for a week or two, no problems, and secondly you avoid the trap of going into Blockbusters for DVD and coming out having spent a tenner on a family size tub of icecream and huge bag of maltesers!

patrick boo Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I use Screenselect - for 12.00 a month you can have unlimited DVDs every onth with two on the go at once - it's fantastique for me as I live a hours away from a cinema and even further from a decent one. Has revived my arthouse viewing and revitalised that wee box in the corner. Huzzah! What have I got on the way next? Let's have a look.... 'In the Mood For Love' Wooop!

medichi Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I use Blockbuster, and it's ace. Can't say I've got bored of the DVDs either - how lazy do you have to be to not be able to get to a postbox? I've got a queue of 50-odd films and tv-series that I'm wading through. They respond to e-mails too for getting stuff added - no Curb Your Enthusiasm until I complained! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 All this postal malarky is going to do me out of "job". Boycott! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessHolly Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Haha. I had a feeling you'd have something to say about it! I wanted to go for screen-select but when I looked at their site, quite a few links didn't work and images weren't loading and i thought that was unprofessional because I am a huge snob!!But after recommendations, I may go for it!

patrick boo Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 They do have a huge range - it's quite fun to type in the most obscure films you can think of and see them appear on your list! The only one they've failed me on so far is 'Inside Daisy Clover'... if anyone knows where I can get a copy of this I'd be grateful, btw...

connie Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 I vote for Amazon, my mum uses it, and it's really quick and efficient. Apparently. Sue never lies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skittles Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 i use blockbuster, must say it's better than a few of the other online rentals out there. Was with cdwow (ilovefilm) for a bit and that just sucked balls, slow delivery, long waiting lists for certain titles.Blockbusters a fuck yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
