Kiss Late Fees and Headaches Goodbye
|
 |
|
Oh there's nothing quite as fun as going to the video rental store – unless, of course, you have a problem with late fees, teenage staff with an attitude and over-picked rental choices. On the wrong day it's a migraine waiting to happen. Then in 1998 a company called Netflix gave us all an alternative – forgo the video rental store and order our DVD rentals online.
It may have taken a bit of time for the online video rental concept to catch on, but eventually it did. After all, with brick-a...

Netflix is definitely at the top of their game. With nine different subscription plans to choose from, 100,000 titles in stock, no late fees and free delivery, it's no wonder more than 8 million customers have signed up for the service.
- New subscribers can take advantage of a 2 week free trial.
- Get instant movie rentals directly on your PC.
We found the Netflix website very easy to use, the pricing very competitive and the selection of titles is great. While the customer service number proved to be a bit hard to find, once we got a hold of the company they were very pleasant to deal with and we experienced almost no hold time at all.
Netflix's pricing is right in line with the competition, and when you consider the selection is bigger and customer service seems to be better, Netflix may indeed be a company that gives you more for your money.
Overall, we'd have to say that not only did Netflix pave the way for the online DVD rental industry, but they still lead the pack today.
Star Reviews gives Netflix the Top Rated spot with an overall rating of 6.0 Stars!

If you're an indie film lover, a fan of the classics or someone who needs to sit down with a good foreign flick every now and then, GreenCine is the service for you. They're not as big as the mainstream DVD rental services, but they have a great selection of niche titles to choose from. They have over 50,000 titles in stock, so while they're not as big as the top two contenders, they do beat out a lot of the smaller competitors.

The main drawback to GreenCine is the fact that the company doesn't offer a free trial and there is no phone support available. Some customers have also complained about long wait times for certain titles to become available. That's a bit concerning since their pricing doesn't exactly undercut the big names in online DVD rental. All in all, however, we have to say that GreenCine does very well in serving a niche of the online DVD rental market. If you want to go with the little guy, this is the one you want to back. With that said, GreenCine is awarded 4.5 Stars!

If you're looking for the best DVD rental service on the Web, GameZnFlix probably won't be your first choice. GameZnFlix seems to be geared more towards gamers rather than the movie buff. This would probably explain the whole "limited movie selection" issue. Companies like Blockbuster and Netflix have tens of thousands of titles. GameZnFlix has about 20,000, but that number does not include their game rental titles. If you are looking for a combo deal of movies and games, then this may be the DVD rental service for you.
- Movies Available on DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray
- Pre-Pay For 3 Months and Get A $25 Shell Gift Card (at the time of our review)
If higher pricing and limited selection weren't bad enough, phone support wasn't as prompt as we would have liked either. Fortunately, email support was hassle-free. All in all, we'd have to say that while GameZnFlix does have potential, you're better off dealing with a more established online DVD rental service if movies are only what you want. GameZnFlix deserves an Overall Rating of 4.0 Stars.

We'd really have liked it if DVD Avenue would have been the underdog that we could stand behind. Unfortunately, our experience with the company was a bit of a disappointment. First, there's no free trial. Every other DVD rental service on the block offers a free trial. One might assume the lack of a free trial is due to a lack of quality service. - Spanning over 25,000 Titles
- No Due Dates or Late Fees
- Free Delivery and Return Shipping
Our email request to DVD Avenue's customer service department went unanswered and we were unable to locate a phone number. Considering the pricing isn’t as competitive as we would like to see, we'd have to say stick with one of the bigger online DVD rental services. With the pricing as it is and the selection paling in comparison with the bigger players we give DVD Avenue an Overall Rating of 3.5.
