Peerflix

Now, Peerflix is not a straight DVD rental site, let's get that out of the way first. BUT, and this is a big but, it is quite possibly the single most cheapest way to get DVDs at a steady pace with the most control and security that you'll find on the internet.

Now, those are pretty bold opinions, but hear us out. Peerflix is a DVD trading site, which hooks you up with other DVD owners, and you pay a small fee to trade DVDs. When you compare it to a straight DVD rental site, you'll usually find that it is much cheaper, and the best part is you have more control over the process.

You see, once you've received a DVD, it is yours, you can either retrade it, or keep it for good (this is great if you find a DVD that you really want). Peerflix is really easy to get started with, they are free to join and check out, and once you create your list, you are pretty much ready to rock and roll.

Oh, one thing we want to mention, just because we think it is cool :) Peerflix has a little Paparazzi game that you can pass the time with, it's quite fun.

Anyway, to get started trading DVDs check out Peerflix by clicking on the link below.

Intelliflix

Now, here we have a straight DVD (and game) rental website, and what a great job they do to.

With over 40,000 titles, you know that they will have what you are looking, it's kind of like having a Blockbuster Superstore on your computer with you having 24/7 access to it.

It works similar as to how Peerflix works, as far as you setup your lists and what you want to watch (or select individual titles) and Intelliflix will send them straight to you (we'll explain about the shipping in little bit).

Now, Intelliflix has multiple forms of memberships where you can either have unlimited DVD titles, or you can do it via individual selection (the unlimited obviously works out better as far as price goes).

So, how does shipping work? Well, put bluntly, you don't pay a dime. Intelliflix sends a return DVD bag with the DVD so when you are finished you can just send it straight back, it works brilliantly, and you will usually get your DVD in the mail in about 2 days (not a shabby reponse time!).

If a straight DVD rental company is what you are after, then you'll want to check out Intelliflix, just click on the link below.

TotalVid

If you are a hardcore Anime lover, or you're into Action Sports DVDs, then TotalVid is where you'll want to hang out.

They in no way cater for the main stream DVDs, but they do a brilliant job of catering for the small niches like Action Sports, Martial Arts, Home Improvements, Instruction DVDs etc.

Now, TotalVid isn't really a DVD Rental site, but you can buy, and then download the DVDs straight away for a fraction of the cost (we're talking like 10% or something rediculous) or you can wait for the full DVD to arrive... personally, we'd rather just download it, get it quickly, watch it quickly, and for like 1/10 of the cost, why would you buy it?

To the person who is a bit of an extremist then you'll fall in love with TotalVid, but if you're looking for something more commercial, "Seek Life Elsewhere" (aka head to Intelliflix or Peerflix). Just click on the link below and you'll be taken straight to their the TotalVid site.

Oh, one last thing, they also have a clip that you can check out for each DVD... which is cool since you can preview each DVD before you order it.

DVD Avenue

A toned down, leaner, smaller, and well... small (yes yes we know, we couldn't think of another word) version of Intelliflix.

They've got a range of DVDs 15,000 strong (so about 1/3 of what Intelliflix is) with a much smaller userbase.

The prices are 'fairly' similar, nothing to write home to your mum about, so as far we are concerned, the only real reason you'd go with these guys, is two reasons.

1. They do have a slightly better website to use and follow, so that is one slight plus for them

2. You like to back the underdog. They are definitely a smaller site, but they do their job well, and if you can find your DVD within their 15,000 titles (to be honest, who the hell would watch 15,000 titles anyway?! - so quit complaining) then you'll find a happy DVD rental home with DVD Avenue.

So, if these 2 reasons top your list, then click on the link below, and get started with them.
