Online DVD rental

The weathers changing, the Winters drawing in.

Suddenly the beach doesn't seem so appealing, i'd rather chill out with some movies. 

It's becoming really popular these days to use online rental,

and as long as the high street stores continue to ask for £3.50 for one evening,

im sure their popularity will keep growing.

So Lovefilm.com seems to dominate the market, but with Amazon also running a similar offer. But whats intrigued me is an invite from my friends to join Tescos rental scheme.

They're using Lovefilms service, but as far as your customer interaction goes its all with Tesco. So they're re-selling a service using their own package, even a budget option using second-class delivery.

Basically you make a list of at 20 movies you wana see, then choose a package to determine how often you'll be sent the discs. Depending on the package you choose you can have one, two or three discs at home at any one time. Keep it as long as you want then simply post it back (free of charge) and they'll send you something else off your list.

The thing thats got me so hooked i cant resist but give it a go is my introduction offer.

2 Months FREE! - so i can sign up to have three discs at once (normally £17 am month - ouch!) for two months, thats gona be a lot of free movies.

the downside is you dont know what they'll send you, so you just have to watch what comes, it'll only be stuff from your list, but if your mates round you cant guarantee what they'll send you first.

I'll keep you posted...
