Hey Juz! Good to see you back :)

I've seen several mentions of Boomerang over the internet as an alternative to Lovefilm. Price seems comparable I think? Anyway, here is a link: http://www.boomerangrentals.co.uk/

Hey Retro - cheers ears.

Yeah, I'd seen that Boomerang and did wonder...I guess I'd be happier if someone I knew had used em...there seem to be a few dudes at Eurogamer who have used em.

@ Indie - useful as ever bro!

Boomerang seems by far the cheapest as well. I've seen a couple of other places mentioned, but they fall into the £13 per month bracket, which to me seems far too expensive.

Did some more reading on this yesterday for you - you lazy twat ;) - and it seems most people are happy with Boomerang if you stick to the priority package which is around £15 a month. Most seem to be getting games quickly after release.

What are Blockbuster offering then? I fucking hate Blocky B so probs wouldn't do that.

I never really went away, just have an awful lot of stuff on so may disappear for a while again.

To be honest, I don't know - just read a few posts from people who seemed to like them. I don't have any real interest in games rentals because I have zero time for gaming these days and a big pile of unplayed games of my own if I ever do get the opportunity to play anything but Lego games (with the little 'un) again.
