Signed up for the 3 month LoveFilm trial, so far I am not very impressed.

Had three titles from them so far, none of them were from my "High" list, one from "Medium" and the other two from "Low" - They have also shipped my 4th title today (just checked) yet again not from my "High" list but from my "Medium" list.

Also their turn-around time is appauling, I sent the last game off on Saturday and they have only got around to shipping the new game today.

Its free so I cant complain but I wont be paying for this. I also tried to sign up for a trial with SwapGame but they wont accept my Visa card for some reason, even after passing the "Verified by Visa" screen. Their loss.

Boomerang are on my list to try next, hopefully they are better.

I've been with Lovefilm for about a year now, and using lists really is the best way to get what you want. At the moment, I have my discs allocated to three separate lists, two of which have had one title at a time on them for a while and I've never had any problems with not getting them.

Turn-around isn't great over a weekend, although Saturday-Thursday is really unusual. Since it settled down after the postage strikes in October, I normally get discs at most 3 working days after the previous one was sent back. If you've got quite a bit of time left on your trial, play around with lists and try to send discs back during the week.
 
have just cancelled my tesco rental (Didnt recieve one priority title in the 4 months I was with them) and giving boomerang a try now.

Why is everyone making massive lists rather than just adding what you want when you want it.

Thats what I have done and I just ignore their emails when they tell me to add more stuff. Everything arrives on time though. Probably because I am a paying customer.

3 month trial code here for Lovefilm which you can use on old and new accounts... XMLFZZ720
 
So i've got my 1000 points from avatar, after a whole minute or two of gaming. Should i just send it back now, or is it actually a game i should play?
 
I was with lovefilm for a while, but they kept sending me movies and not games.

Joined boomerang a few weeks ago and not a single complaint yet. Got Army of 2 on release day and RSV2 on release day too. Stopped me buying those two games along. Just need to remember post a game back on the wed to get one on release day.
 
I started using SwapGame About a week ago, got my first game sent out a day after creating my list, Got the game I had at the top of the list as well.

You can set up multiple lists on lovefilm. So you can set up a seperate DVD list and Games list and have it send you one thing from each list. I'm on the 3 at a time combination package and have it set to always send me 1 movie and 2 games. Problem solved.

Ahh they never had lists when i was a member
 
Just got my 4th 3 month lovefilm trail, its great, saved me about £600+ so far (+£19/month lovefilm fee)

I bloody love it, would definitely pay for it if trails weren't unlimited.

Just need to decide if i should go buy a ps3 with 2 games + 300 on blu ray for £299 offer ending today. Hmmm :p
