    There is a voucher floating around somewhere for 1 movie on a Wednesday night for £1.00, so this is not that good a deal. And isn't it only 1 top movie per month for £9.99?

    Think this is for rental via post with vouchers for instore use given as well. £2.49 per month is pretty good, anyone got the link.

    EDIT http://www.moneysupermarket.com/vouchers/deals/999-instead-of-3996-for-4-months-unlimited-movie-rental/91401/

    Details;
    One DVD at any one time
    Ability to rent one DVD free per month in store when another is rented full price at the same time
    It only takes a second to say thanks! :beer:
    Remember: Amazon prices change quickly!!!

    its only 1 at a time so although better than renting from the shop no that good for a postal deal, if you are looking to have one YOU WANT at home all the time then I think you would need 3 at a time aloowing 1 each way in post at worst all the time, think live filem offer a better one after you have given up their free month, I got 3 for 1 with them with games ect, and also the on line streaming

    I'm confused, is it £9.99 for the postal rental or go into a shop & rent films for 4 months for £9.99?

    Lost at the bit in red. If you had the online dealo then surely you wouldnt pay extra to rent films from the store?

    It just part of the offer or was as now has expired,

    Deal was online dvd rental - One disc at time - Post it watch it return it etc.

    + Vouchers for the store Buy one get one free (Probably would not use I agree)
    + One priority DVD a month that they rush to you (limited selection then you could have 2 discs at home)

    Hope that clears things up

    Was a cheap deal (now I understand it), what about the risk of the films going astray in the post?
