I know a few of you use Love Film on here, I've been sent a free 30-day trial, before I sign up could someone give me the basics of how it works and, most importantly, how much it'll cost me once my 30-day trial runs out.
i've been using Lovefilm for just over 2 years now & it's pretty simple.
Once you've signed up to the appropriate package, you'll need to create a rental list, just type in a movie/game in the search box then click add to list or reserve if the title isn't out yet, you'll need to add at least 10.
You can set each title to high, medium or low priority, obviously the high ones are sent out first.
Lovefilm will then pick one of the titles & send it first class, when you've finished with it, return it in the pre-paid envelope & once Lovefilm havfe received it they will allocate another disc to be sent to you, simple :)
The package i'm on is £15 a month which is for 2 discs at a time & unlimited rentals within that month, i've got two rental lists, one for films & one for games.

hey JT if yo go here www.lovefilm.com/gift you can enter this code KRMCH89DT and get 2 months free
It might ask you for my email address which it tarahindle@blueyonder.co.
If you dont use it let me know I will give it someone else
I'm with TescoRental (on and off) and they are the same as LoveFilm, i even get LoveFilm discs. Game rental is only good to play games that are old or that you ever thought, wow that looks good, but i aint gonna pay for it.
Don't expect Assassins Creed 2 or Modern Warfare!

Thanks Tara, I'll let you know.
I saw soemthing on the site about being able to pay with a pay as you go option, I may opt for that to begin with and see how much I use it. I wouldn't use it for film rentals, I hardly ever watch filsm any more and if I do I normally wait for them to come down in price and pick them up from Asda for £5 etc.

I didn't spot your post initially, that's a bit crap, didn't realise that. I wouldn't expect them on release day, but could i not get, say Borderlands, now that it's been a few months since release?
i always put new/upcoming releases on my rental list, it's pretty much hit & miss what game you''ll get, in 2 years i've managed to get 2 games the day after release, Lego Batman and the new Ashes game
On the web site before signing up it's talking exclusively about film hire, is there a seperate section for game rental or is it all the same thing, it's a bit confusing, especially since I wouldn't be using it for hiring films.
The US doens't have Love Film. Lucky bastards. :(
Once you sign up you have to change the package to add the games, thats what i did, i'm just looking on the help section on the site but cant find anything
No worries Craig, I'll probably take the free trial and see how I get on. As long as you can cancel at any time I'll be happy :)
i think i used the free trial, then changed the package once i had to start paying, i'll have a proper look again & post any info i find
from the lovefilm help section
Can I change my tariff during my free trial?
It is not possible to do this online as it could result in you being charged and losing the remainder of your free trial. However, if you contact the Customer Service team, they will be happy to do this for you.
so you can change it but start paying straight away or wait till the trial ends and then change
Thanks Craig :)
I've just got a couple of 2 months free cards from Lovefilm through the post (they always send them to give out as Christmas gifts) so if anyone would like one just PM me, they expire on 31/03/10 so theres plenty of time to use them :)
Hi guys (& gal)
Want to re-activate my lovefilm account and wondered if anyone had a reactivation promotion code?
tried google but cant find anything, had one through the post a couple weeks ago but binned it :(.
thanks for the help
I am sure I have somewhere I will have a look
There is a code on these forums somewhere too for 3 months love film. I dont think anyone used it
Thanks TJ, not sure if promo codes and reactivation codes are different as i tried about 20-30 different codes to no avail,
keep getting the message "KRMCH89DT is not a valid reactivation promotion code."
Ill keep searching but may have to start a new account or put my hand in my pocket. xx
i've got 2 free codes if you want to start a new account mate?
I still have a 2 Month Code going spare if anyone wants one? It's valid until the end of this month so if anyone wants it, let me know. :)
Lovefilm have just sent me another two '2 Months Free' codes, again if anyone wants one, just let me know :)
Same here :)
Yeah I got one of those cards through as well... I use boomerang so if anyone wants it let me know.
Boomerang FTW!

What is Lovefilm? Is it like Netflix?

It's like Netflix and GameFly had a baby, and didn't get put out of business (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameZnFlix).
I was just thinking of signing up for Love Film, but as far as I can tell the 30 day trial period doesn't include game rental, just for DVDs only. I'm not really bothered about film rentals so can someone who's already a member tell me how it works please?
You can trial any of the Lovefilm packages on offer then once the free trial is over you can reduce down to something manageable.
Basics are:
- subscription based rental
- monthly fees based on the number and type of rentals per month (eg. I pay £14.99 for DVD & Games, 2 discs at any one time, unlimited per month)
- you can prioritise the rentals you get into high, medium and low to help you get the films/games you really want first
- they supply the returns envelopes with the rental
I've been with them for years now, never had a problem with any part of the service. Would reccommend.
If you root about you on google you should be able to find a three month free trial code somewhere.
Thanks Luke, I've signed up for the standard 14 Day trial period because I have no real interest in hiring films, I only want it for games. I've just added two films to my list. Can you tell me what "Games only" subscriptions there are?

I pay £10.00 per month for games only, i am allowed up to 4 games a month and i can keep each game for as long as i want/need. I usually only manage to get through two games a month though, but even that is still a lot cheaper/better than paying £6.99 per game rental at blockbuster and only keeping them for 7 days. Hope this helps marty :)

Email them, i did on a free trial and they added games to it for me.
£15 a month for me for both films and games, two at a time and unlimited during the month, films I tend to keep for a day or sometimes send back the same day, games obviously for a few days longer, the longest i've kept a game is just over a week and that was because I didn't play the rental because of Gears 2 25x XP. :)

my god if i only kept rentals for a few days i would never have time to play my growing collection of bought games! Certainly explains why you have loads of games still in their wrappers though. :)
Thanks for the info guys. I've stuck half a dozen films I'd like to see on the list, and will then probably switch to the £10 a month one for games only. :)
I have a question. Do Love Film send an extra rental as "compensation" if you have a faulty disc. My last rental of the month, Lego: Harry Potter, was faulty so I sent it back and they've re-dispatched it, plus they've sent Assassin's Creed II as well, despite not having any rentals left and despite also having a film rental at home still to watch. Have they screwed up?

no, they did this to me as well when CoD5 was dodgy. You get an extra rental.

I'd need some extra hand too, perhaps I should just clone myself... hmmm
Thought would just add www.boomerangrentals.co.uk for people lookin to just rent games. Dunno if it works out cheaper but i use them. If i put the wrong website on just google boomerang rentals.
Has anyone else found LoveFilm really slow at sending out discs recently?
For the past few months, It's sometimes taken up to a week for me to get my newest rentals. :'(
Only in the last week or two, but I'd put that down to Christmas post and the weather.

Complain, i did when my disk turnaround started taking 5-6 days and they added 1 month free time onto my account.
Disc turn around is usually pretty slow at this time of the year but i'd rather just blame Royal Fail instead of LoveFilm themselves, they're getting loads of flack at the moment so I like to throw a little more blame their way. ;D
Complaining also works very well. :)
Fusion mentioned last night that he's subscribed again which reminded me that I've got two '2 months free trial' cards if anyone wants the codes?
I've got a couple of codes too if anyone wants them. :)
Also got 2x 2 month codes if anyone needs anymore.
LoveFilm have changed their rental packages, i'm on the £14.99 a month package which was for unlimited rentals within a month with two discs at home, they've since changed it to three discs at home, bonus! :)

same here, was thinking of reducing my rental package but then thought I'd hold off until the XBL tariffs are revealed
I love that they just gave us an extra disc for no real reason (other than market competitiveness but trying not to think about that!)
I usually have 1 DVD and 1 Game, though swapped it to 2 DVDs after buying all these new releases lately. Now I'm sat here having to decide which of my 3 movies they've just sent all at once I should watch. Can't complain really! :D
I had some of those free trial things somewhere, nice to see everyone sharing the wealth like a proper community. Kudos.
I've been thinking of signing up, a 2 month trial would be useful as it would delay the cost till after xmas, anybody want to help the family mackem?? 8) #)

Is it bad I kind of want that? What the heck can one person do with 4 discs? I'd have to start sharing them with my housemates. ....Gross. ;D
f*ck sake. 3 of my last 7 discs from LoveFilm have been full of scratches and unplayable when I've received them, plus I'm never ever getting any of my Top Priority titles. I think my last one I got was Gears 2 on Release.

I only ever get high priority titles but then there are about 50+ games set to that on my list!
Only ever had one game not work from there, one of the Tony Hawk games, quite a few of the TV series that I rent are scratched to death which is bloody annoying especially as they play for a while so you think they'll be ok and then they start jumping and skipping scenes.
Stop pretending you have high priority games, they're all easy gamerscore kids games really!

I got sent three 2 month codes today too. Any takers?
Me too!!!
Haha, came here to say I got sent 3 of these 2 month codes - figured everyone else would've had them too. They're valid until like some time next year though so if anyone wants a free 2 months (and then cancel, owned Amazon) - looks like you've got some freebies to use.
Shout if anyone wants one, none of my pals/family nearby are interested.
Watching Hitchhikers Guide on the new Lovefilm xbox app, all round success I'd say. Nice one.
If anyone still has one of these Lovefilm codes, i'd take one just to see how it works on the 360.

Cheers mate.
I've still got 3 two month Lovefilm codes if anyone wants one?
They expire on May 26th.
