I've been through a few DVD rental services. I started with DVDunlimited (even have the t-shirt), but their shipping became slow and so I went to fatso. Who seemed okay. But scratched DVDs were annoying, especially as PC-based players don't seem to cope too well with them.

This came to a head when I rented the first series of The Saint, and every DVD was scratched and hard to play. I looked at Movieshack's website (ironically, the first DVD-rental-by-mail service in NZ I heard of, and the only one I hadn't tried), and discovered that they claimed to actually check DVDs for scratches when they were returned rather than when people like me complained. And started yet another two week trial.

They seem pretty good so far. Certainly, I've had no trouble reading any of the DVDs they've sent.
