Merged With Screen Select
Mailbox Movies has merged with Screen Select and no longer offers a rental service of its own.
Old Review As Below
If you are looking to rent both computer games and DVD movies online in the UK then you have three options:
1) Take out two subscriptions - one to a specialist DVD rental service like Screen Select and one to a specialist game rental company like Games Frenzy. That's the expensive way.
2) Keep heading over to your local video store and paying extortionate rental fees.
3) Choose Mailbox Movies and pay as little as £9.97 a month...
...we think the choice is clear.
If you are only looking to rent either DVDs or console games then we would suggest looking at one of the more specialised online rental providers. Mailbox Movies does stock over 12,000 movie titles and over 300 game titles which is vastly more than your local video store, but a specialist rental service will have double that. Take a look at our Editor's Choice selection of best DVD rental companies at our sister site dvdrentalservices.co.uk for help chosing amongst these.
During our trial of the Mailbox Movies rental service we found their selection of films to rent to be pretty comprehensive for mainstream movie choices which should satisfy most rental customers. For games, they've got Playstation, PS2, Gamecube, X-Box console systems covered and whilst it's not the most comprehensive selection again, they've got all the major titles which should keep gamers happy.
It's in the pricing structure where Mailboxmovies.com really scores big. This is the cheapest online video game rental service in the UK and cheaper still when you consider you've got the chance to mix and match your game rentals with movies as well. The subscription prices start at just £9.47 a month and if you subscribe for a full yearly membership you get a further 2 months FREE which lowers that monthly price even further.
Turn-around times are fast and our customer support enquiries were answer promptly. Our trial of the Mailbox Movies service ended without incident and in all we were happy with the quality and speed of service we received here.
Mailboxmovies.com is not alone in offering video game and movie rentals in the same subscription package but when comparing Mailbox Movies vs other similar combined rental companies they most certainly are head and shoulders above their competitors in terms of both pricing, availability and importantly, service standards and that's why we awarded them our Editor's Choice award for combined services.
What We Like About Mailbox Movies
|
Mailboxmovies.com offers the best all-round service when it comes to renting both movies and games online. They also have the lowest subscription charges and with an additional 2 months free to yearly subscribers that price becomes unbeatable.
What We Dislike About Mailbox Movies
|
The Mailbox Movies rental catalogue is not the largest for either games or DVD rentals. Whilst this will not matter to most, as 12,000 movies and 400+ games (including all the latest titles) should be enough to satisfy most people's needs, there will be those with more obscure tastes who might not find their choices available.
