Out of all the rental companies i have tried ChoicesERental is my faviourite. They have an easy to use site, they respond to emails, quick turnaround and i never got a damaged disc. They also picked my top choices, or at least within the first 5 in my list.

The only downer was the price. If they dropped it to £15 for 3 then i'd cancel my Tesco account and sign up with them in a heart beat.

I can recommend them.

Steven,

Have you tried Screen Select or Blockbusters, I found both of those to be better than ChoicesERental. Blockbusters are charging £13.99 a month for 3 DVD's & Screen Select charge £14.99.

Screenselect were pretty good, priority titles and reasonable turnaround but for some reason a few dvd's went astray and took a day or two to appear.

Blockbuster picked my first titles but seemed to take ages to turnaround. I'd get an email 2 days after sending a disk back saying they had received my disk. Then the next title would sit for 2 days on the website with a 'Awaiting Despatch' status.

Just found out that Choices have not only changed their name but also knocked their prices down. It is now £14.99 to rent 3 at a time.

...and (not mentioned on the DVDtrials review page) you can upgrade to 4 discs for £19.99 once you are a member! (I'm stickng with three)

I found them very slow, and confusing... I'd receive titles a couple of days before they updated my account.

I think I only got about five films from them in my three week trial. Once I'd cancelled (and got notification that I'd cancelled), I got two films more... not a trustworthy computer system...

Screenselect and Blockbuster clear favourites for me.
