| DVD rental by subscription |
Rather than selecting a particular film every time, you build a list of discs that you would like and put them in order of preference. The rental company will then send them out in as close to your order of preference as possible, depending on which films are in stock and which are still out on loan. In practice, with LOVEFiLM we've had our top selection almost all of the time - the worst case being the film third on the list. Naturally, it'll be different depending on the popularity of your chosen titles - we've tended to put the blockbusters at the top of the list and of course these companies buy loads of copies of the most popular films!
The basic packages generally allow you a single disc at a time, which is practical for most people. If you want a film every night, you'll want a package that offers more than one disc at a time and hope that they cross in the post. Remember, most of the trial periods are without obligation, so try a couple out like we did and see which works best for you!
