    I'm surprised to hear the problems with Lovefilm. I have never had an issue with them, I just fancied having Netflix too!

    If you keep your wishlist current (ie. only things that are in stock) then I can return 2 to arrive with them on a Monday for example and monday evening they will ship out the next 2 and they are with me Tuesday morning. Its awesome. 2 movies to watch every other day.

    Considering 2 discs every 2 days and unlimited movies to stream costs only £9.99 a month, its a no brainer on using a service like this as opposed to a shop like Blockbuster.

    I know I'm surprised they haven't done it either, pretty sure you can stream netflix through a pc too though so that might be worth a go.

    It is an idea but its a lot of messing about. I refuse to sit in front of a pc watching a movie when I have a nice big TV to watch it on.

    I do actually have a dedicated pc hooked up to my TV for things like ITV player and SKY player (again a genius invention) but its just not ideal.

    You have 3 options, netflix, Lovefilm or (the more logical one in this day in age) DOWNLOAD!!

    I'm bewildered that people still use Blockbuster at even £2 per movie.

    Downloading appears to be a taboo subject, I have certainly never seen any mention of it on this forum however for a large percentage of the public (the majority if people are honest), downloading is a part of life. If i want a movie, missed TV episode, box set etc. I download it withjout giving it a second thought. I am baffled why not everyone is up to speed with this yet.

    I would love to stream through my Xbox 360 but what is stopping me - no subtitles :mad:, so DVD's for me.
