"Rental Website Discussion Thread"

As I hear that many people on the website are either currently using, or possibly planning on using one of the many rental sites that are available, I've decided to create this thread to try and keep members recommendations and experiences together. If anyone wants me to add anything else to the information, don't cease to ask and I'll attempt to put it on.

To see more details about a particular service, click the spoiler tag.

Haven't quite finished the list yet, but I'm currently updating it now, any help compiling information in the list would be appreciated.

Mine has updated now when i go into my rental list (not on the side view)

Oblivion is on its way to me, a game i wanted to try for some time as i heard good things about it. Looking forward to trying it out, might be a bit too open for me but hey, its only rented lol

Odd that its happening to everyone lol, but hopefully they sort their act out and send me a new game!! They have been pretty good up until now.

It's weird as I've just got the same problem from Boomerang too. Game was received 2 days ago but no new game sent out yet. Sent them a reply on Twitter about it

It is slow and they are not usually this bad. I'm finding them slow at the moment and have a similar scenario to you. I posted the film on Sunday so would have been picked up on Monday but they haven't sent out the next one yet.

Is it me or does this seem slow;

Sent a Game back to LoveFilm Monday, still not updated their site with the next game i am going to get.....

I would expect it to be delivered Friday at the latest.

I just pay for a Love Film Game account each month - so far it's working out well as I've had 5 games out for about 15 quid total. I am being sly and running a free film rental trial alongside my paid for games trial though.

No contracts either.

I got a few extra rentals the last time LoveFilm did that but you have to be careful with having multiple lists and using an extra credit or, like me, you will find yourself getting a film instead of a game.

I just got an e-mail from LoveFIlm, they got a prize thingy going on, if you add 10 or more films to your list a week your entered into winning Blu Ray Players, HD TV, Portable DVD players and everyone gets a free extra rental. A nice little offer i thought!

I'd say it has become a sudden craze - we are all doing it! Looks like winners all round - all the sites listed seem to have a freeola user subscribed to them, we all have a huge amount of games to play through and freeola will now have lots of game related content posted from it's users.

win-win-win-fail (us paying for it)

Sticky'd for prosperity.
