Lovefilm
UK Review
Online
DVD rental by post is becoming more and more popular. Of
course in the future it may get taken over by online
movie downloads, but right now there's nothing quite like
having fresh, new movies plop through your
letterbox.

Lovefilm is a UK based company who
specialize in sending out movies by post...really quickly. As a
member myself I was always amazed at how quickly the movies
came to me.
I'd send one back in the pre-paid
envelope and lo and behold a new DVD would slide through my
mail box a couple of days later. Let's take a look at what
they're offering right now...
You can get a whopping 14 days free
trial. Believe me, you can get
through a lot of DVDs in that time!
So how does it work?
Basically, you get to compose a wish list
of all the films you want to see. You order them by preference
from most wated to "take it or leave it".
Lovefilm then send the movies out to you
(up to 3 at a time), you watch them and here's the great
thing...you get to keep them as long as you want!
...and then you send them back in the
post via the pre-paid envelope. And then Lovefilm.com send out
the next DVD on your list.
Lovefilm Bad Points?
The only downer in the whole deal is that
they can't guarantee that you'll get the DVDs in the exact
order you request them.
This is fair enough when you think about
it however, the new releases are obviously going to be in
higher demand.
Overall I'm impressed with Lovefilm, so
far I've never had one DVD go missing in the post and I'm
especially happy that you can now rent video games too. Being
able to keep them as long as you like really helps with video
games let me tell you.
Anyway, go check out the free trial...
