Firstly, no I am not a competitor of Movietrak. I had been using the service on an adhoc basis for over 3 years and after less than a week of the new 2 film unlimited rental plan I will NEVER deal with this abusive, arrogant and incompetant organisation. When I first took up the new plan for 2 films at a time they only sent one and it was not even on my list. The second film was sent later in the week and had a huge crack in it and would not play. When I complained and told them I would like an extended free trial period to compensate for their incompetance they rudly refused and would not even so much as give myself an aplogy and simply told myself ...  Read the complete review

I?m sure that a lot of you this Christmas got a DVD player. You?ve been used to the faded colours and soundtrack hissing of VHS and realized you couldn?t take it anymore. Some may think that DVD?s cost more to buy than videos. That is true if you decide to do your shopping on the high street.

They are small, and despite a refit last year, not that comfy. The general moviegoer in Oxford tends to be a bit less considerate than I am used to (sorry Oxfordians, but you need to stop talking as you enter the cinema!). Never mind you say there's ...  Read the complete review

I might have written in much the same glowing terms as your main opinion writers a few weeks ago, but recent experiences with Movietrak have led me to a more sober assessment. Recently (like a few weeks ago) I ordered a film but was sent a quite different one that I had never heard of, let alone ordered. Simple mistake, I returned it with a letter explaining why and several days later received the correct film. This time however, the disk was split and unplayable. I returned it again, with another letter, and so far have heard nothing. I am about to write a THIRD letter to Movie trak, this time politely pointing out that I have now spent 3.49 on ...  Read the complete review
