Currently I am aware of only three companies offering online DVD rental: Amazon, Blockbuster & FilmFour. Each offers to post you DVDs you want to watch, you get to keep them as long as you want then just post them back. None of them seem to offer you the latest DVDs, just some off a list you would like to see.
| Company | Cost per month | Max. DVDs per month | No. at once | No. to choose from |
| Amazon | £7.99 | 4 | 2 | “Tens of thousands” |
| Amazon | £9.99 | 6 | 3 | “Tens of thousands” |
| FilmFour DVD | £12.99 | Unlimited | 2 | 32,500+ |
| Blockbuster | £14.99 | Unlimited | 3 | 27,000+ |
Personally I think I’ll stick with paying between £2 and £3 per film from the local video shop to make sure I get what I’m in the mood to watch. I’d need to be sure I’d watch 4 DVDs a month to make it worth while, I probably wouldn’t, so I’ll leave it for now.
FilmFour DVD seems to be the same thing as http://www.lovefilm.com/ and they have increased their titles to 35,000+. However the trial offers differ, check both out first.

There are something like 41 various sites at last count offering DVD rental in the UK, tracked by several online guides, though this one has been on mainstream press and radio and seems to be the most comprehensive: http://www.UK-DVD-Rental-Guide.com.
