What package did you take out with them? Also, how long do you get to keep a game for with love film?

I think you can get a free trial somewhere, Tesco DVD rental service is also Lovefilm so the service should be identical.

Combo 3, as long as you want.

Move down to Combo 1 during quiet periods, such as now.

Sounds interesting.

I don't, I really should though.

Just signed up to LOVEFiLM £3.99 package and rented Uncharted.

Frapple · 7 Aug 2008 at 22:11

Are you sure? The cheaper deals don't usually include games. Last time I checked the cheapest package to include games was about £7-9. Has it changed?

ps. I rent with LoveFilm.

I'm with Lovefilm. Got the £14.99 a month package which gives me 3 rentals at a time.

Have a list of films, mainly HD-DVD and Bluray, and a list of games. Get 2 films at a time and 1 game at a time.

Been with them a couple of years now and they are really good. When I send a disc back they almost always send a new one out the next day. Well worth the money.

I used to use Lovefilm for my film and game renting, but i Joined boomerang games http://www.boomerangrentals.co.uk/ I found it was a better service for just games so i stuck with that. Im on the £9.99 one game at a time unlimited, but there are are other options £13.99 for 2 games and a £15.99 one 2 games but you get the new games on release day (theoretically) theres also a couple of cheaper ones.

I'm with Lovefilm, been using free trials for them since February so can't really get any cheaper

Camalot · 7 Aug 2008 at 23:06

Is there any more trials avaliable?

Haly · 7 Aug 2008 at 23:08

I tend to just google them or look on hotukdeals. Usually turns a few up.
