Has anyone used this service

I was wondering if anyone uses this service.
Im not sure on the prize, is this each time your rent a dvd or is it a subscribtion for a month or year etc.

If its each time you rent i think 19 euros per dvd is a bit much etc.

You want me to highlight the important bit?

Frantic,

I used it until about 12 months ago and found it a great service.
It is €19 per month and basically you create a wishlist of films and they send you the first available one and you watch it and post it back to them in the prepaid envelope and then they automatically send you the next available one in your list.
The most I was able to get was 3 per week but it is an excellent service especially for movies that you over look in your local rental store that you keep meaning to rent but there is always some other one you want to see more.

I would definately recommend them.

I'd be more annoyed that "the 99p myth" has worked on the user. The number isn't 19, it's 19.99. Which is, to all intents and purposes, 20. Bugs the crap out of me that people still get suckered in by this marketing guff.

On the subject itself, I don't watch enough movies to justify €20/month, it's a pity they don't have a rental-limited service for €10/month.

Mel,

Well for the €19.99 service you list 15 movies in your wish list and they will send you out the first available movie. You can only receive one move a time on this service.Have a look at this link and it will explain the differences between their service offerings Linky

I'm sorry, its right there in front of him. €19.99 a month it says, and he still feels the need to come to a forum to ask about the pricing structure. Its an evolved form of RTFM, for Chris'sakes...

The reason most stores use .99 pricing is not as a marketing gimmick, but to force store clerks to open the cash register, put the money and take out change for customer and then close the cash register. If it was an even 20 euros its too easy for the clerk to pocket the cash.

Of course, this doesnt explain 19.99 on the website.

I never knew that! Of course it doesn't do any harm marketing-wise easier. Added bonus I guess.

That's not true at all, it may be a useful by-product of the marketing ploy but a marketing ploy it most definitely is.
