LoveFilm have just implemented the ability to have more than one rental list, and assign your 'disks' however you'd like.

I've just set up a second list for all my games and given it an allocation of one disk. Let's see if I get a game sent out when the disks I've just returned arrive back tomorrow :)
 
Cheers for that although they've been pretty good lately with one game each time i get some new disks. At first it took me a few weeks before i got any games sent out.
 
I tend to just go on the principle of keeping about 5 discs in the list anyway. I waited months and months for Call of Duty 3 - it was high priority in my list of 30 titles. Last week, I just deleted everything and kept five discs in the queue. Today I got CoD3.
 
Yeah, they try to encourage people to have long lists for that very reason. That's why they've been running the HDTV promo the last month.

This is the games section, not Box Office!

Aye, but the point is that it's a lot simpler (and cheaper) to have one subscription service for both (if you're already with LoveFilm).

I've not had one 360 game from them because I use them mainly for films, this will hopefully change now that I can have a separate list with just games on it :)

I'm starting to get a bit ****** off with them. I have a mixed 2 disc option with them because the Mrs likes films. I've had 8 games for the wii and 360 in my list for ages on high prority. All my films on low. Its about a month since I had a game. I keep my list to about 20 so nearly half are games and i'm not getting any.

I was getting the same problem. I ended up emailing them and asking why I was paying extra for games when I wasn't getting any. I did get the expected reply of "we can only send what we have in stock", but to be fair since then 3 out of my last 4 discs have been games. :)
 
I just keep 2 games in my list and get both at once straight away. The only problem is the sheer number of emails I get from them asking me to put something in my list.
 
This is fantastic news and comes out the blue.
I'd been finding the only way to get games was to delete everything on my list except the game I wanted, then once I'd got it sent out I'd put everything back again. A complete farce if you ask me.

Fantastic service, been with them for exactly a year now. Lost 1 game in the post (my first ever one :rolleyes: ) told them, they sent a form to me to sign and that was that. No charge, they just sent the game out again.

I always get the latest games as soon as they come out, DiRT, Darkness, Tomb Raider: Anniversary were all brand new and unused when I got them. They are also unmarked discs, so thankfully if you do lose one you can replace them easily. All games come in an unmarked envelope, pre-paid so you just put it in the mailbox. The website is pretty good too and they have a massive selection of games.

If you do join, any chance you'll let me recommend you, it will get me a month for free.

Wouldn't you just know it - the disc has got a big scratch in and crashes at the same point each time on the St. Lo level. :mad:
 
Well Doug, for me this has worked like carp. I put all my wifes films in her list and the games only into mine. Assigned a disc to each name. She gets two films :mad:

I have 7 games in my list and got none. If I dont get a game on the next return I will cancel and try someone else.
