Very shortly, 'www.dvds365.com' and the 3 other websites which they power will all be run by 'Video Island'.
You heard it here first. |

Sounds likely, anybody taken a look at their Screenselect a/c of late and the pricing structure of various packages??
I would advise you to do so!

Yes a crafty move, they have put the price up by £2 but not yet added that to the cost of existing subscribers .... well not mine as of now and I've not received any email advising of this. So takeover almost everyone else and whack the prices up, so many of these smaller firms that have been swallowed up by SS were great rental companies now they've taken almost everyone over along with LF who have done similar.
So now all we will have left is a MacDonalds and Burger King scenario. Great I don't think!  |

I have also had inside information, dvds365 has been bought over by video island, 20 employees have been made redundant and they are in uproar  |

Perhaps the redundant workers from DVDs365 should migrate to Lovefilm and teach them the ins & outs of good customer service.
