RE: Anyone use online DVD Rental service??

Quick note:

Just got Schindler`s List in a 2-Disc set from TESCO - so it looks like they also do 2 discs in the one sleeve (like blockbuster).

These guys rock over Blockbuster anyway - on the last week of the Blockbuster 30-day trial, and they`re sending me some crap titles from the bottom of my list.

I would highly recommend Blockbusters service though, you can cancel at any time and they`ll even refund the rest of the month`s fees!
They also send 2 disc sets as 1 rental, instead of sending the 2 discs as 2 different rentals like most of the others.

Does anyone know if Tesco does the same? If this info is correct, that puts Blockbuster at an advantage (I always enjoy the bonus discs - but it`s too painful to order them separately; rather than seeing a new movie instead!)

I have been enjoying Free trials with both Tesco & Blockbuster. They both have quick turn around times, and the selection has pretty much adhered to my specified order priority. Turn around times have always been 3-4 days (ie send one back Fri, new one arrives Tues; send another back Wed, new arrives Sat).

Subscribing to 3 at a time is the way to go if you like movies every night! ! With 1 at a time, you would be pushing it to see more than 1 movie a week (based on a 4-day turnaround).


So Tesco or Blockbuster for me. Tesco website (esp. user reviews) is better, but if straightjacket (above) is correct about the 2-disc policy, then it makes them about even.

RE: Anyone use online DVD Rental service??

I`ve got a few of those on my list - they are sent one at a time (and supposedly in sequential order).

So if you`re like me and subscribe to the one at a time deal - you won`t get part II until you send the first one back.

Probably take me over a month to see the `Band of Brothers` 5-part epic!!

RE: Anyone use online DVD Rental service??

I`m in the same position (living miles away from DVD shop).....and have signed up for a free trial with Tesco (on the £7.97 1 at a time deal).

Signed up Monday (28/2) and due to receive 1st DVD on Friday (4/3). The site looks great, but I`m interested to find out the turnaround time and work out how many deliveries you would get in a month.

Getting 3 CD`s at a time would make no difference in the waiting time would it? Don`t you have to send all 3 back at once (or can you do it 1 by 1 and keep it flowing nicely that way).

Cheers,
