I recently trialled with Movemine and during the 2-weeks I got about 6 discs. Fast service and no complaints from me on range of titles. Easy to cancel service too. 9/10

Currently on a paid service with MovieTrak and again I`m very pleased by the turnaround and range of titles. 9/10

Currently free trialling Global e-Rental which is good for new releases, but not hot on back catalogue titles. So far 7/10

Did a trial with Movie Choices but the service for me was the worst I`ve ever had. 3 discs went missing, about half the ones I received were badly scratched and wouldn`t play and in 1 month I received just 6 titles. Some have said the opposite though. 3/10

Video Island is good, now merged with ScreenSelect which wasn`t bad. 7/10, 7/10

Also trialled with LoveFilm which was good as were DVDs365. 7/10, 7/10

HTH

I highly recommend dvds365.com - I`ve been with them for about 3 months and they`re quick and have loads of stock. They tend to be a bit slow with new releases, but I`ve learned to move them down the queue and get older stuff first. This month`s Empire has an offer for a month`s free trial.

Tried CDWOWRENTALS (LoveFilm) - In 2 weeks had six 9 films. 3 unplayable and 2 of the others were from a boxset and I got discs 2 & 3!! Bloody useless. >:(

Now with Screenselect - first 3 films on the way!

First 3 films from Screenselect arrived. 2 unplayable! :(

This is really p***ing me off. The state of the discs were awful.

Lokks like I`ll be cancelling after my free trial.

Whatever you do, avoid Blockbuster. Absolutely shocking service. >:(

Tried Lovefilm.com, and they were great.
